GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Weber State shot a program-record 7-under par 281 in the final round to hold off three charging teams, winning the Bobcat Desert Classic team championship on Wednesday at the Golf Club of Estrella.
"This was a great week for the girls," said WSU head coach Sara Hogue. "They played so solid all three days, but today the way they battled and competed was so special. It was so fun to watch and compete with the teams we played with today. I'm super proud of this team. To get two wins in a season is amazing and we are excited to be back down here next week to compete for a championship."
The Wildcats final round came on the heels of rounds of 288 and 289 for a 6-under par total of 858, which tied a program-best, set back in September of 2023 at the Timpanogos Collegiate.
Idaho and Montana State entered the day just one shot off the lead, and both programs went into red figures to make a run at the Wildcats. Idaho shot a 3-under par 285 and finished in second place at 863, while Montana State shot a 2-under par 286, finishing third at 864. Utah Tech also shot under-par on the day with a 286, with the Trailblazers finishing fourth at 876.
Jade Gruher led the Wildcats over the 54-hole event, posting rounds of 69, 71 and 69 for a 7-under par total of 209 to finish third overall, just one shot off the individual medalist score. Gruher carded 11 birdies on the week, including four each in her two rounds of 69.
Isabel Gutierrez and Cala Korman each shot 2-under par totals of 214 to tie for sixth place, giving Weber State three players inside the top-10.
Gutierrez led the final round charge with six birdies, matching a career-best with a 4-under par 68. Her 68 followed rounds of 74 and 72, and she matched Gruher with 11 birdies over the tournament.
Korman opened her tournament with a 74 and closed with consecutive rounds of 2-under par 70. She carded nine birdies over her three rounds.
Sofia Fuenmayor played as an individual for the Wildcats and shot rounds of 76, 71 and 75 to post a 6-over par total of 222 for a top-20 finish, tying for 19th overall.
Emma Lillywhite shot rounds of 71, 76 and 77 to tie for 26th place at 8-over par 224, while Emily Song tied for 30th place with a 13-over par total of 229 on rounds of 76, 79 and 74.
Idaho's Zoe Newell and Montana State's Lauren Greeny each shot 8-under par 208 to tie for individual medalist honors.
The tournament win is the second of the season for the Wildcats, who also took home the team championship at the Bowling Green Women's Intercollegiate in February.
