WILMINGTON, N.C. – The Wake Forest Women’s golf team is just one stroke off the lead after the first 18 holes of the Landfall Tradition. The Deacs were second in the field with 19 birdies
 
Senior Rachel Kuehn led the team for the entirety of the day, jumping out to an early lead on the individual board. The Asheville native was five under par at the turn with a bogey-free first nine holes. A bogey on the par-five 11th was quickly regained with back-to-back birdies on the par-four 14th and 15th holes. Kuehn leads the 96-player field by one stroke heading into Saturday’s second round.
 
Graduate Emilia Migliaccio also sits inside the top 10 after the first 18 holes of play. After coming out of the turn at two under par, she birdied two of her final three holes of the day. She enters the second round in a tie for seventh at four under par.
