DALTON, Ga. – Playing amongst a field with 10-of-14 teams ranked inside the NAIA's Top-25, the No. 19 Taylor women's golf team positioned itself in fourth place after the opening day of the Roadrunner Invitational on Monday.

The Trojans shot a team score of 312 at the Dalton Golf and Country Club, finishing the opening round ahead of the No. 5, 9, 13, 14, 18 and 20-ranked teams in the nation and trailing only the No. 3, 4 and 15-ranked teams.
