The Gophers are tied with Texas and trailing tournament leader Vanderbilt (-11) by 14 strokes after 18 holes at the 6,349-yard, par 72 Eagle Creek Golf Club.
Leading the way for the Gophers was freshman Celia Kuenster's two-under-par 70, placing her in a tie for 10th place.

Freshman Sabrine Garrison fired an opening-round 75 (+3) placing her tied for 56th place while senior Carmen Laguna was one stroke behind her, tied for 66th place at four-over-par.
