Sophomore Chase Wilson shot a 72 and senior Nick Goins shot a 73 to lead the High Point University men's golf team in the first day of the Joe Agee Invitational in Williamsburg, Va. The Panthers shot 304 and are tied for seventh halfway through the tournament.

"I'm happy with the way Nick and Chase played," said HPU head coach JB White. "Chase is continuing to shoot very well. It's a pretty tough course but we still left a lot of shots on the course. I will be disappointed if we don't shoot better tomorrow."

William & Mary is leading the tournament with a first-day score of 290 followed by Old Dominion at 294. The Panthers are tied for seventh with Towson and are just three strokes behind fourth-place IUPUI. Fourteen total teams are in the tournament.

Wilson's 72 puts him in a six-way tie for fourth and Goins's 73 puts him in a six-way tie for 10th. Senior DJ Dougherty shot a 79, senior Evan LaRocque shot 80 and junior Curtis Brotherton shot 88 in the first round. Just two players shot under par on Saturday, led by William & Mary's Jeremy Wells at a four-under-par 67.

Play resumes with the final round on Sunday at 8 a.m. at the 6,800-yard, par-71 Colonial Heritage Golf Club.
