WICHITA FALLS, Texas -- Alli Reily got off to an inauspicious start Monday morning in the Midwestern State Invitational played at the Wichita Falls Country Club.
But the junior from Pottsboro, Texas, shook off bogeys on her first two holes and went 1-under over the final 34 holes to move into a tie atop the individual leader board.
Reily registered a pair of birdies and 12 pars to finish the opening round with a 2-over 74, then used an eagle and four birdies to log her third par-or-better scores of the season with a 1-under 71.
Reily is tied for first with Southwestern Oklahoma State's Freya Sala (75-70) with 1-over totals of 145. The duo takes a one-stroke lead into Tuesday's final round over Savannah Dupre (73-73) of St. Mary's.
Reily can become the third MSU women's golfer to win a home tournament, joining Kendra Whittley in 2011 and Juanita Gomez in 2022.
Dupre lost in a three-hole playoff to Dallas Baptist's Olivia Mitchell in 2023.
