Rangers in Seventh Place after Round One of Colorado Mines/Regis Fall Invitational

Aurora, Colo.: Today's conditions were less than favorable at the Colorado Mines/Regis Fall Invitational which included a three-hour delay due to ice on the course and cold temperatures.  Regis finished the first round, cut to just 18 holes due to the late start, in seventh place with a score of 304.

The cold weather didn't stop Johnson & Wales (Fla.) from shooting low today.  Johnson & Wales shot a 289 with all five of their golfers shooting a 73 or better to lead after the first round.

Sophomore Robert Quick led the Rangers with a 2-over 74 (36-38) to tie for 13th.  Junior Greg Johnson was one stroke behind (36-39) to tie for 19th.  Junior Zach Johnson shot a 37 on the front nine and a 39 on the back nine to finish with a 4-over 76.

Sophomore Taylor Hulbert will start in 37th place after carding a 79 (39-40), while fellow sophomore Kyle Seery saw his first action of the season and shot a 90 (43-47) to tie for 70th.
