SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah – The Cowgirls and Kiley Reisner picked up where they left off in May.
 
Wyoming, which capped the historic 2025-26 campaign by winning the National Golf Invitational, leads the 10-team Utah Valley Invitational by six shots entering Tuesday's final round on the 6,270-yard, par-72 TalonsCove Golf Club.
 
The Cowgirls were in third place after shooting a collective 293 (5-over) in the morning before posting a 289 (+1) in the afternoon, the lowest second round team score, to surge to the top of the team standings.
 
Host Utah Valley (+12) is in second place, and Weber State (+15) is third.

"The team had a consistent, confident start to the season today," UW head coach Josey Stender said. "I was very pleased with how they adapted to very windy conditions, different from what we experienced in the practice round and last year."
 
Reisner, an all-Mountain West selection as a true freshman last season, carded back-to-back rounds of 71 Monday and is second on the individual leaderboard at 2-under entering the final 18 holes.
 
Southern Utah's Saylar May (-8) leads Reisner by six strokes. BYU's Ava Schroeder (-1) and Portland State's Cynthia Valerie Ong (-1) are the only other players under par and tied for third.
 
Junior Emerson Purcell (+2) is tied for seventh, and junior Lucia Morelli (+5) and senior Elle Higgins (+5) are tied for 14^th through 36 holes. Junior Kira Reisner (+6, tied 18^th) rounded out the Cowgirls' scoring.

"Both Kiley and Emerson made nine or 10 birdies, which is a credit to their work over the summer to improve their putting," Stender said. "Overall, we're in a really great spot as a team thanks to a balanced team effort." 
 
UW was the runner-up at this event in 2025 at -11 (853), which was the lowest tournament score in program history. Higgins set the program record for individual low round with a 68 (-5) and set the record for lowest tournament score in program history at -7 (209) to finish second.
