Following a performance at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational, Washington State University women’s golf travels to Stanford to play against some of the best in the nation at the Stanford Intercollegiate.

The tournament will take place at the Stanford University Golf Course and will be played at a par-71. The course has been host to Pac-10 Championships, NCAA Regional, NCAA Women’s Championship, USGA Junior Amateur Qualifying and U.S. Open Qualifying.

This time around, the Cougars will compete against their stiffest competition, including some nationally ranked foes. On the field will be No. 1 UCLA, No. 2 USC, No. 3 Stanford, No. 5 Washington, No. 8 Pepperdine, No. 12 Vanderbilt, No. 18 Kentucky, No. 23 Northwestern, No. 24 Auburn, No. 25 Cal, No. 30 Oregon, No. 36 Georgia, No. 42 UC Davis, Oregon State, and San Jose State.

Representing Washington State will be its usual sextet. Senior Mallory Kent, who won the Cougar Cup, and juniors Lindsay Harmon and Kristen Rue will lead the team. Along with them will be sophomore stars Rachel Lewis and Nani Yanagi and freshman Cherokee Kim.

Even though it will be one of the toughest competitions yet, Head Coach Kelli Kamimura said she has high hopes for a team that continues to work hard and get better and better.

“We want to show that we’re here to compete against the best of the country,” she said.

The competition is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. today and will continue until Sunday.
