WAHINGTON, Utah - Freshman Meghan Paracuelles matched her season-low with a 2-under 70 to hold the round one individual lead Sunday at the Utah Tech Trailblazer Invitational Green Spring Golf Course.

As a team, the Matadors are in second place after carding a team round of 12-over 300. Gonzaga heads into Monday's second round with a four-shot lead over CSUN while Utah Valley (304), Southern Utah (306), and UC Irvine (312) round out the top five in the nine-team field.

Paracuelles, who also carded a 70 at the season-opening Timpanogos Collegiate Invitational, had three birdies, 14 pars, and a single bogey in her opening round. She was 2-under through eight holes after her second of three birdies and would finish her final 10 holes at even-par to close out her round of 70.
