Women's golf to visit Utah for BYU at Entrada Classic

SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA women's golf team will compete in the BYU at Entrada Classic on Monday-Tuesday, March 12-13, at Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club (par 72/6,098 yards) in St. George, Utah.
 
The Roadrunners will face Boise State, No. 48 BYU, No. 18 Kent State, No. 26 North Carolina, Oral Roberts, Oregon State, Santa Clara, No. 49 SMU, Southern Utah, Texas Tech, Tulsa, Utah Valley and Wyoming. The field will play 36 holes on Monday and 18 on Tuesday with a 9:30 a.m. CT shotgun start each day. Live scoring will be available at http://results.golfstat.com//public/leaderboards/gsnav.cfm?pg=participants&tid=13890.
 
UTSA is coming off a 14th-place finish on Feb. 27 at The Dickson, which was shortened to one round due to heavy rains in The Woodlands. Becky McGeehan fired an even-par 72 to tie for 14th place and Julie Houston shot a 73 to tie for 21st to lead the way.
 
The Roadrunners finished fifth with a 912 (313-295-304) at last year's BYU at Entrada Classic behind a 15th-place showing from Aimee Ponte.
 
Two years ago in their first appearance in the event, Houston tied for fourth with a 221 (72-74-75) and Nikki Long tied for 14th with a 230 (81-75-74) to lead the Roadrunners to fifth place with a 921 (313-303-305).
