Siena Women's Golf sits in sixth place following a weather-shortened opening day at the Battle at the Beach, hosted at Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club.

Originally scheduled for 36 holes on Saturday, inclement weather forced the event to be reduced to 18 holes, with the final round now set to begin at 9 a.m. Sunday.

Siena posted a team score of 326 (+38) in the lone round of the day, finishing just one stroke behind fifth-place Stonehill (325) and four shots clear of seventh-place Indiana State and UMES (332).

Junior Julia Kret paced the Saints with an impressive 3-over 75, carding two birdies and 11 pars to finish tied for fourth overall in the 70-player field. Kret played the par 4s at even par for the round and added steady play on the par 5s to remain among the individual leaders heading into Sunday.

Emely Kintzel and Chelsea Woods each turned in rounds of 83 (+11) to tie for 35th, with both golfers recording a birdie on the day. Mackenzie Whitney added an 85 (+13), highlighted by nine pars and a birdie, while Isabella Silva rounded out the Siena lineup with a 92 (+20).
As a team, Siena totaled 40 pars and five birdies across the 18 holes.

Charleston Southern leads the tournament at 295 (+7), followed by Fairfield (304) and Long Island (316).

The final 18 holes of the tournament will tee off Sunday morning at 9 a.m., as Siena looks to climb the leaderboard and close out play in Pawleys Island.
