Boulder City, Nev. - California Baptist University women's golf freshman Samantha Dizon fired a two-under-par 70 on Sunday to lead the Lancers in the opening round of The Clash at Bolder Creek, a three-day tournament hosted by Northern Arizona.

Dizon is tied for fourth place with Elina Saksa of Cal State Fulerton and Victoria Gailey of Nevada. The co-leaders after day one are Yvonne Vinceri of Idaho and Leah John of Nevada after shooting four-under-par. Hannah Lim of Boise State is alone in third place at three-under-par.

The Top 5 is rounded out with UTEP (292, +4), Boise State (293, +5), Long Beach State (294, +6) along with a three-way tied for fifth place with San Francisco, Cal State Fullerton and host NAU (295, +7).

Individually, in addition to Dizon's performance, CBU's Sofia Chabon is in 33rd place after shooting 75 (+3), Hailey Loh is in 45th place with a 76 (+4), and Damini Law Ghanshyani carded a 78 (+6) to be in 62nd place to determine Sunday's team score.
