MIDDLEBURY, Vt. -- The Bates College golf team received an outstanding first-day round of 76 from first-year Lee Smith, leading the Bobcats to ninth place so far at the 2008 NESCAC Men's Golf Qualifier.

Smith (Lexington, Mass.) is tied for seventh place out of 50 competitors at the two-day event. The top four teams to emerge from the qualifier will compete for the NESCAC Championship in the spring.

Smith has a chance to place on the NESCAC All-Conference Team if he finishes among the top 10 players. He was followed Saturday by junior Kurt Schuler (Windham, N.H.), who shot a 78, senior Jeremy Rogalski (West Springfield, Mass.) with an 84 and sophomore John Canney (North Clarendon, Vt.) with an 86 for a team score of 321, 25 strokes ahead of 10th-place Colby and two strokes behind eighth-place Tufts.

Play resumes Sunday with 18 more holes on the par 71 Ralph Myhre Golf Course.
