NEW ORLEANS – Fighting not just the competition but also the rain, the University of New Orleans golf team sits in 13th place after an opening round score of 304 at the Golfweek Fall Challenge on Sunday afternoon.
Maximilian Wojciechowski led the Privateers with a 2-over par round of 74 tying him five others in 36th place. The German got off to a rough start – bogey, double bogey, bogey – before making three birdies and 11 pars (including nine pars in a row) on his next 14 holes. His three birdies tied him with
Matt Weber for the most by a Privateer on Sunday afternoon.

HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"I had hoped that we would have had better conditions to start the season but nobody can control mother nature. I thought our mindset was okay out there but we absolutely have to do a better job executing."
"Throughout the lineup, we were very sloppy and left too many shots out there. That's probably a combination of this being the first event of the year and us not being able to get many reps in the weeks leading up to this event with the weather in New Orleans. However, we are not going to make excuses. We need to get better and that starts tomorrow morning."
