On day one for Sonoma State, Garcia would tally a team high four birdies and finish 1-under in her final five holes after a birdie on the par 3 8th. She would stand at the top of the individual leaderboard at the conclusion of her round.
After earning her first career CCAA Golfer of the Week award at the Fujikura Invitational earlier this month, freshman
