EASTON, Pa.. - Senior Keith Hendrickson (Syosset, N.Y.) shot a tournament-low even-par 72 and sophomore Aaron Ungvarsky (Wilmington, Mass.) made the most of his first start of the season, leading Binghamton to an opening-round 296 and a one-stroke lead after the first 18 holes of the Lafayette Invitational. The Bearcats lead American (297) and the rest of the 24-team field, heading into Saturday's final round at Center Valley Golf Course.

Hendrickson had three birdies on the day, and sits in a five-way tie fors first among 125 golfers. Ungvarsky, who cracked the starting lineup after winning a playoff round back home, was just one shot off the pace at +1. Freshman Jeff Wolniewicz (West Seneca, N.Y.) shot a 75, senior Joe Kunz (Webster, N.Y.) fired a 76 and sophomore Kevin Crawford (Lockport, N.Y.) had the kick-out score of 79.

Binghamton will begin its final 18 holes Saturday morning at 8 a.m.
