SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. – Competing in its 16th-straight NCAA Regional, the Iowa State Women's Golf team sits in seventh place after the opening round of the NCAA Louisville Regional. The No. 3 seed, the Cyclonitas were one of seven teams in the 12-team field that shot under par in the first round.
No. 18 Iowa State's 287 as a team is tied for the sixth-best NCAA round in program history and the second-best in the first round of an NCAA Regional.

Nichakorn Pinprayoon led the Cyclones in the first round, as she shot a one-under-par 71 to sit in a tie for 18th.

Chul-Ak-Sorn was three-under-par on par five's, tied for the best in the field in the round.
Pammy Chookaew rounded out the lineup for the Cyclones, as she shot a four-over par 76. Chookaew is in 51st place overall, as her string of 18-straight rounds counting for the Cyclones was snapped. Iowa State has counted Chookaew's round in 31 of the 34 rounds played this season.
