The University of Wyoming Cowgirl golf team broke yet another record as the team shot a record-breaking round of 291 (+3) and a 10th-place finish with their top event score of 891 (+27) Tuesday at the CU/Heather Farr Memorial tournament.
Nine of the top-10 low team round records have been set in the past two years for the Cowgirls, including the top two from this season. This year’s squad has played in four tournaments thus far and has broken the low event team score twice.
“I am so proud of everyone in our program, they really came together today,” said UW head coach Josey Stender. “It was a great team effort today and we put together a really solid tournament with three good rounds.”
The Cowgirls, with seven players and three rounds, they had only three total rounds in the 80s. Wyoming was once again led by true freshman Juanita Rico, who in Monday’s second round tied the best round ever played by a Cowgirl with her 69 (-3). Tuesday, she shot another sub-par 18-holes with her 71 (-1), which brought her total to 218 (+2) and a tie for 20th place.
Trailing Rico was sophomore Jenna Zamprelli, who had her best tournament in the two years she has been a Cowgirl, with her total 223 (+7). Junior Sarah Fogerty was not far behind with her 225 (+9), which was good for a tie for 42nd-place.
The Cowgirls will have two weeks to get ready for the Bronco Fall Invitational in Boise, Idaho ,on Oct. 13-14.
“We need to keep this consistent play going and continue to put three rounds together,” finished Stender.

BOULDER, Colo. -- The University of Wyoming women’s golf team finished the first day and the first two rounds of the CU/Heather Farr Invitational Monday, as they sit in a tie with Boise State for 11th-place.
After the Cowgirls first round they had a team total of 306 (+18) but finished the day strong with the second best team event round in UW history with a 294 (+6).
“It was one of the best days we have had as a team from top to bottom, they played great in the second-round today,” said UW head coach Josey Stender.
The Cowgirls were led by freshman Juanita Rico who shot an opening round 78 (+6) but answered with an impressive 69 (-3). With her total of 147 (+3) strokes she is entering the final round tied in 23rd place.
“You always want to play better in the second round on the same day because the hole placement hasn’t changed,” said Stender. “It was really good to see their adjustment, they are really starting to come together.”
Rico was followed by junior Sarah Fogerty who is currently tied for 27th place with a total 148 (+4). Sophomore Jenna Zamprelli enters the final round tied for 37th place, with a total 150 (+6).
The Cowgirl team will hit the links beginning the final round at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday. “Tomorrow we need to just keep our focus and really finish the tournament on a good note,” finished Stender.
