POWELLS POINT, N.C. – Tucker D'Allaird continued his strong fall season with an even-par 71 to lead the University of North Dakota men's golf team during the opening round of the ODU/OBX Intercollegiate on Sunday at Kilmarlic Golf Club.

North Dakota carded a team score of 298 and sits 12th after the first of three rounds in the final tournament of the fall season. James Madison holds the team lead at 285, while Murray State and Drake are tied for second at 288.

D'Allaird finished the opening round tied for ninth place in the 90-player field after recording four birdies on the day. The junior was one of 12 players at even par or better and continued a strong stretch of golf that has included a ninth-place finish at last week's Zach Johnson Invitational.

Landon Miller was next for the Fighting Hawks with a 75 and sits tied for 52nd, while Joseph Kortan and Nathan Peyerl each posted rounds of 76 to share 64th place. Kagan Kollar rounded out the lineup with a 77 and is tied for 74th.

Peyerl's round was highlighted by his consistency. The senior recorded 14 pars, tied for the fourth-most in the tournament field, while D'Allaird finished tied for sixth with four birdies.

As a team, North Dakota tied for fourth in the field with 54 pars and ranked among the top five in par-5 scoring at 1-under. The Fighting Hawks also finished tied for 11th with 11 birdies during the opening round.

Round 2 of the ODU/OBX Intercollegiate begins Monday at 8:15 a.m. (CT). Unlike most fall events for UND this season, the tournament will be contested over three days with one round scheduled each day before concluding Tuesday.
