Kentucky rallied late to grab the 18-hole lead at 4-over 284. Michigan State and Wake Forest are tied for second at 6 over, Louisville, is fourth at 7 over, Tennessee is fifth at 10 over and the Tar Heels are tied with Duke, Michigan and NC State at 12-over-par 292.
Duke's Andie Smith and NC State's Marie Madsen are tied for second at 2-under 68, one stroke behind Lopez-Chacarra, while Southerland is tied for fourth with Vanderbilt's Ava Merrill at 1-under 69.
UNC's Megan Streicher shot 71 to tie for 10th, Helen Yeung shot 74, Inez Ng finished with a 78 and Ing Iadpluem shot 79.
Round two is Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and the final round is Sunday with a shotgun start beginning at 9:30.
