CALDWELL, Idaho – Oregon Tech placed three golfers in the Top-5 to take the Day 1 lead while the OIT men trail UBC in the second Cascade Conference golf event of the season, the College of Idaho Invitational at TimberStone Golf Course.
 
The Lady Owls recorded a team score of 305 on the 6,108-yard track, two strokes clear of British Columbia – ranked No. 4 in the preseason NAIA Top-25 poll.
 
OIT's Ashley Zhu (pictured) will take a one-stroke lead into the final round, overcoming a double-bogey on her opening hole to shoot a 2-over-par 74. UBC's Kate Johnson is alone in second at 3-over-par (75) – using a hole-out from the fairway on the Par-4 10th-hole for the lone eagle of the morning.
 
Payton Canon and Aerin Song of Tech tied for third at 4-over 76, with three golfers, Cecile Kwon and Shania Remandaban of UBC, and Northwest Nazarene's Stephanie Miller, tied for fifth, three strokes back.

"On the women's side the freshmen are competing at a high level and continue to impress the conference with the level they are at.
