Anna Scott led the way for the 27th-ranked Georgia State women's golf team at the 2009 Colonial Athletic Association Championships on Friday at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga.

Scott's 74 (+4) at the 6,030 yard, par 70 Lake View Golf Course puts near the top of the leaderboard, trailing only UNC Wilmington's Carmen Perez-Narbon's 73 (+3) at the end of day one.

Scott had six bogeys and ten pars through 16 before a birdie-birdie finish to move to second place overall.

In the team competition, UNC Wilmington sits in the lead at +20 after posting a 300 in round one. Georgia State trails by two shots after posting a 304 (+24) to claim second place alone.

Freshman Charlotte Lorentzen joined Scott in the top ten by posting a 76 (+6) to claim a share of seventh place.

Defending CAA Champion Cathrine Madsen finished alongside her sophomore teammates Iliska Verwey and Sandra Maier at 7-over 77s for shares of 12th place.

Finishing behind Georgia State in the team competition are Richmond (+30), Towson (+34), William & Mary (+35), James Madison (+39), Xavier (+48), Old Dominion (+49), Dayton (+52), and Hofstra (+71).

A UNC Wilmington victory would be a repeat of last season, as the Seahawks and Panthers finished one-two in 2008.

Weather for the first round was mostly clear, but featured strong wind gusts during the morning before settling in the afternoon.

Play begins tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. with all players teeing off of the first hole.
