The University of San Francisco women's golf team is back in action this week, traveling to St. George, Utah where they will participate at the BYU at Entrada Classic at the Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club. This is the second of five tournaments this spring the Dons will be competing at. The BYU at Entrada Classic is one of two trips out of state the Dons will make this spring.
"The team looks strong and ready to go as we have had some solid practices since our last event," said head coach
Sara Doell. "The golf course at Entrada is a visually challenging course but seems to be very score-able. I feel that if the team plays to their potential this week, we can be very competitive in this field."
