EDEN, UTAH -- The SUU Women's Golf team was in Eden, Utah, competing in the Utah Fall Intercollegiate hosted by Weber State. The Thunderbirds finished fourth after the 36-hole tournament.
Head Coach Caylyn McKinley said
"It wasn't the week we hoped for, but it was a week we'll learn from. The course tested us in every way, and while there were some great moments, we know there's work to be done before we head to New Mexico State's event in October. Huge congrats to Orchid on a well-earned top 5 finish this week. Now it's time to regroup and come back stronger."
