The junior is tied for fifth overall after a 2-over-par, 73, on Monday.

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – Junior Ludovica Busetto (Padova, Italy) shot a 2-over-par, 73, to guide the Seton Hall women's golf team to a fourth-place standing after round one of the 2021 St. John's Invitational on Monday.

Busetto had a season-high 16 pars in the opening round to lift her to the top Pirate score of the day. Entering Tuesday's final round, she's tied for fifth place overall, four strokes behind the individual leader, Quinnipiac's Aimee Uchida.

As a team, the Pirates battled some wet weather in route to a 22-over-par, 306. The Hall trails the team leader, Quinnipiac, by 20 strokes with 18 holes remaining in the tournament.

Sophomore Ginevra Zavagli (Rome, Italy) and freshman Ana Sarrias Pro (Cadiz, Spain) each shot a 5-over-par, 76, on Monday. Zavagli had two birdies to power her round, while Sarrias Pro 12 pars to pace her effort. They're currently tied for 15^th place among 59 individual golfers.

Senior Sarah Fouratt (Santa Maria, Calif.) shot a 10-over-par, 81, in the opening round and is currently tied for 35^th place overall.

Graduate student Margot Bechadergue (Aix-En-Provence, France) finished just one stroke behind Fouratt with an 11-over-par, 82.

Competing as an individual, sophomore Sasha Amelang (Houston, Texas) is currently 18-over-par following a first-round 89.

The Course:
The magnificent golf course of the Saint Andrew's Golf Club has been shaped by the skill and imagination of three renowned designers over the course of its nearly 115 years of operation. Today's layout, a challenging 6600-yard, par 71, 18 hole course rated at 146, is largely the product of a Jack Nicklaus Signature redesign undertaken over the years 1983-85. But a number of the original holes remain in play, largely unchanged. And a number of holes have been subsequently refined in an unceasing effort to enhance the aesthetic beauty of the course and enrich the playing experience.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host St. John's, the small field is comprised of seven other teams including: Albany, Columbia, Hartford, LIU, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart and Yale. Individuals from Rutgers will also compete.

The Schedule:
The field will play one round on each Monday and Tuesday. Monday's start will begin with tee times beginning at 8:45 a.m. off hole No. 1. Tuesday's final round will begin with a shotgun start at 9:30 a.m.

The Results:
Complete results will be available following each day's competition at Golfstat.com and SHUpirates.com.
