Oct. 8, 2010

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A beautiful day in sunny Florida greeted the Musketeers and the rest of the field of the Xavier LPGA Int’l Invitational for the first round. Xavier is tied for fifth place with a team score of 310. Senior Rachel Levi was the top finisher for XU, tying for sixth place.
