Play suspended at NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships

A lightning delay which lasted more than three hours and then darkness forced the suspension of play at the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships here Friday afternoon. Twelve teams completed their rounds before lightning strikes forced a 3:15 delay beginning at 3 p.m.

Once play resumed, the final golfers were able to complete five holes before darkness fell in.

UCLA is sitting in first place at even par for the tournament, with a six-over-par performance during Friday's round. Duke moved into second place at three-over par, while Oklahoma State is in third place at four-over par with eight holes completed. All three teams are at least 16 strokes ahead of California and Vanderbilt, which are both 20 over par through 12 holes.

Individually, Cal's Sarah Huarte was four-under par through 12 holes and sits atop the leaderboard at 11 under. OSU's Karin Sjodin was two over through eight holes on Friday, and is six-under par for the tournament.

Cowgirl freshman Ashley Knoll has completed 10 holes and is two-over par, while junior Annie Thurman is one over through nine holes. Freshman Candy Herrera is even through nine holes, and fellow freshman Mallory Underwood is two over through nine.

Play will resume on Saturday morning at 8 a.m. Central Time.
