LAST TIME OUT
The 49ers are coming off from an 18th place finish at the 19-team Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown to close out the fall season. The three round tournament was shortened to two rounds due to thunderstorms that forced the cancellation of the second round. LBSU recorded a two-round score of 17-over 593. Sophomore Breann Fox, playing as an individual, was the top player for the Niners, tying for 65th at 3-over 147.

TEARE NAMED ASSISTANT COACH
Former LBSU standout and 2016 Big West Conference Women's Golfer of the Year Kassidy Teare was named assistant coach for the Beach. Teare graduated from LBSU this past season after completing her four-year career at the Beach.

Teare received at-large bids to the NCAA St. George Regional last year in St. George, Utah and to the NCAA Stanford Regional this past year.
