The UNLV women's golf team began play at the OSU/Shanico Invitational Monday in Corvallis, Ore., firing a first-round 307, good for eighth place. The Rebels' 19-over par round sets a school record for the first-year program that had previously carded a best round of 310.

UNLV got an all-around solid team effort with three players turning in rounds of 76. Freshmen Tina Mabanta, Angela Olivarri and Hwanhee Lee are all tied for 24th place at 4-over par. Junior Erin Borcherts struggled on the greens and shot 79 on her former home course, as did fellow Rebel Christine Hentzner.
