KIRKWOOD, Mo. – Freshman Kathryn McNease is two shots off the lead in a tie for third after an opening-round four-over 75 and Bradley Women's Golf is tied with Southern Illinois for seventh in the team standings, five strokes out of a tie for third after Sunday's opening round of play at the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Championship.
 
McNease posted her lowest round since late September, firing a four-over 75 Sunday at the par-71 Greenbriar Hills Country Club on the first day action at the MVC Championship.  She finished the day in a three-way tie for third, two shots back of co-leaders Hannah Bermel of UNI and Evansville's Mallory Russell, who both fired two-over 73's in the opening round.
 
Bradley shot 314 as a team to match Southern Illinois for seventh in the team standings.  Indiana State leads the field at 20-over 304, four shots better than second-place Missouri State (308).  Four teams fired 309 Sunday with Evansville, Illinois State, Drake and Northern Iowa all tied for third overall.  The Braves hold a seven-shot edge on ninth-place Loyola with Valparaiso closing out the standings in 10th at 341.
 
Senior Megan Welch sits one shot out of the top 10 in a tie for 19th overall after a seven-over 78 in the opening round. 
 
Junior Mara Flaherty turned in a first-round 80 to close the day in a tie for 33rd, while freshman Maria Perakis is one shot back in 36th after an 81 in the opening round.  Senior Sarah Nacos rounded out the team scoring for Bradley with an 86 in the first round and sits in 46th in the standings.
 
The start of Monday's second round has been pushed back one hour to 9 a.m.
