STANFORD, Calif. – Freshman Alessia Nobilio, coming off two top five individual finishes, shot the lowest round of her career with a 3-under 68 in the opening round of the Stanford Intercollegiate on Friday. Collectively, 17^th-ranked UCLA women's golf team is in 7th place at 6-over 290.

Stanford, the course host, leads the field by seven strokes at 11-under 273.

Nobilio is tied for second place on the individual leaderboard, three strokes behind Stanford's Rose Zhang.

After bogeying her first hole of the round on the par-4 10^th, Nobilio did not have a single misstep, holing four birdies and going bogey-free on the remaining 17 holes. Nobilio birdied on the par-5 16^th, par-4 2^nd, par-4 6^th and par-3 8^th to shoot her second sub-70 round of the season.

Redshirt sophomore Ty Akabane is tied for 35^th after a 1-over 72 on day one. Akabane eagled in back-to-back rounds, dating back to the Bruins' third round of the Blessings Collegiate Invitational on Oct. 6, after she finished the par-5 7^th in just three strokes. Akabane recorded one other star on day one on the par-4 11^th.

Junior Emma Spitz sits tied for 51st following a 4-over 75 performance. Spitz was over par on three holes and did not birdie in her first 18 holes of the tournament. Joining Spitz in 51^st is freshman Zoe Antoinette Campos, who birdied three times on the par-5 1^st, par-3 4^th and par-4 9^th.
