The Lewis-Clark State College men’s golf team couldn’t keep up its torrid pace over the final nine holes and stands in second place after the first round of the Lewis-Clark State College Invitational at the Clarkston Golf & Country Club in Clarkston, Wash., on Monday. 

The Warriors were just 1-over par on the front side, but wound up 10 over on the day for a 298 total, eight shots behind leader Concordia University of Portland, Ore., which set the first-day pace at 290. 

On the women’s side, the Warriors shot a disappointing 341 and stand in third place, trailing fellow Frontier Conference member Rocky Mountain by 17 shots. 

The final 18 holes of the tournament will be held on Tuesday with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. 

LCSC coach Paul Thompson said the Warrior men played OK, but knows they can perform better. LCSC, which is fell out of the NAIA Top 25 in its last poll to the top team receiving votes, still finished ahead of No. 7 Victoria and No. 13 Rocky Mountain in the opening round. Concordia is ranked No. 20. 

Victoria stands third and 307, while Rocky Mountain is in sixth place at 324. 

Patrick Casabonne shot LCSC’s best round of the day, matching par with a 72, which was the second-best round of the day. Chris Kneen shot a 74, while Joey Lovell and Nic Arrenbrecht had 76s. 

On the women’s side No. 8-ranked Rocky Mountain has the lead at 324, followed by No. 19 Victoria at 330. LCSC, which is ranked No. 17, is third, while Concordia, ranked No. 14, is fourth at 349. 

Rocky had all five players shoot in the 80s, although only the top four scores are combined for the team score. 

LCSC’s Juanita Villa was one of four players to shoot 81 on the day, one shot behind the two individual leaders. Alana Norris added an 84, while Courtney Shrout had an 86.
