HERSHEY, Pa. – Christina Hall (Wall, N.J./Wall) sits in 14th place to lead the Mount St. Mary's women's golf team to a fifth-place standing after the first day of the Northeast Conference (NEC) Championships on Friday.

Hall posted the third-best mark in program history at the NEC Championships after carding an 82 in the first round. The freshman is eight strokes behind the current leader and two strokes from the Top-10.

Christina Koerper (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Mount St. Joseph Academy) and Megan Corbett (Danbury, Conn./Danbury) are both two strokes behind Hall in 19th place with an 84, the fifth-best total in team history at the tournament. Ananda Rochita (San Francisco, Calif./Lowell) (30th place, 87) and Maddy Martin (LaVale, Md./Allegheny) (41st place, 97) round out the Mount's competitors.

Fairleigh Dickinson leads the three-round event after the first round with a score of 311, eight strokes ahead of Sacred Heart (319) while Long Island (321), Robert Morris (328), the Mountaineers (335), Saint Francis (Pa.) (338), Central Connecticut State (340), Monmouth (364), St. Francis (N.Y.) (368) and Wagner (376) round out the 10-team field.
