HELENA, Mont. -- The Carroll College women's golf team finished Day One of the Minot State Invitational in fourth place, while the men sat in ninth on Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

"While today's scores are not indicative of our potential, for us this tournament is all about re-establishing touch and feel and trying to get the basic fundamentals going again," Saints coach Ben MacIntyre said. "It was going to be a monumental task trying to be competitive at a high level given the winter we are having." 

Samuel Berry led the men on through two rounds. He shot a two-round total of 157, which put him in a tie for 17th overall. Berry shot 79 and then 78. 

"He putted extremely well," MacIntyre said. 

Joseph Potkonjak was the next lowest shooting Saint, firing a two-round total of 165.
