SEASIDE, CALIF. — The Dartmouth women's golf team kicked off the spring schedule at the CSUMB Women's Otter Invitational at the Blackhorse Golf Course. The Big Green sit tied for sixth after the first round of competition and shot a 323 (+35) on the par-72, 5810-yard course.

CSU-Monterey Bay is atop the leaderboard and shot a 301 (+13), two strokes ahead of Nova Southern (303). Following the hosts is Dallas Baptist and the Academy of Art in third place (309) and Incarnate Word (322).

Freshman Jessica Kittelberger is tied in 16th with a six-over 78 but played as an independent golfer and her card is not reflected in Dartmouth's team score.
