Cowgirls open spring golf season

The Wyoming women's golf team looks to shake off some rust in the second day of San Diego State Lady Aztec Classic in Chula Vista, Calif.

On Sunday, the Cowgirls were led by junior Sarah Fogerty with her opening-round 80 (+8), which has her tied for 74th out of 108 individuals. She was followed by lone senior, Mikala Henzlik, with her first-round 81 (+9), however, Henzlik is playing as an individual and is tied for 82nd-place.

“All the girls today had a good nine holes and a bad nine holes,” Wyoming head coach Josey Stender said. “We were just a little more rusty than we thought and that comes from not experiencing the competition for a while.

“I’m not too worried and it reassures me when I look around and not a single girl has her head down. It shows me that they may have been a little nervous and may have just rushed themselves a little bit today. But we will get back in tune and back on track tomorrow."

The three-day tournament will give the Cowgirls plenty of opportunities at the Salt Creek Golf Course. Leading the tournament after day one is UC Irvine, which is ranked 23rd in the nation according to golfweek.com, with a team 287 (-1). The Cowgirls are 18th with a 331.

The Cowgirls will take to the links Monday starting at 8 a.m.
