LARAMIE, Wyo. (Sept. 8, 2019) – The Wyoming Cowgirl golf team will make a trip to Springville, Utah this week to open up the 2019-20 season at the Hobble Creek Fall Classic.
 
"It has been a great, productive summer for the Cowgirls but I know they are excited to get back out there as a team," head coach Josey Stender said. "The schedule this fall will bring a new set of competitive tournament experiences, starting with Hobble Creek in Utah.  We are also coming off a tremendous training and team building weekend led by a solid returning core group.  They have established a positive, competitive team culture and the newcomers seem to be transitioning well."

Wyoming will bring Cowgirls Erin Sargent, Caitlyn Skavdahl, Cristiana Ciasca, Samantha Hui and Michelle Nguyen to compete at the event for the Pokes. Morgan Ryan and Jessica Zapf will compete as individuals.
