SANTA ROSA, Calif. – Academy of Art women's golf ended round one of the Sonoma State Spring Invitational in second place thanks to a strong showing from junior Anahi Servin, helping to power the squad to 9-over-par 297 at the Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club, just five strokes behind host and leader Sonoma State. In the individual portion, Servin concluded day one in second place after carding a 3-under-par 69. 

Looking for her fourth tournament victory of the season after coming in first at the Academy of Art Invitational, Servin is just two strokes back of leader Lexi Nielsen of Sonoma State (5-under-par 67) thanks to four birdies on the back nine, tied for second most birdies in the round. Servin is the first of three Urban Knights currently slotted in the top-15, with freshman Napat "Plern" Rattanaprakarn tying for 10th at 3-over-par 75 while junior Iveta Posledni checks in just behind in a tie for 12th at 4-over-par 76.
