UTEP Women's Golf is gearing up to participate in the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Arizona, from April 7-8. The tournament, featuring a 21-team field including notable schools like Arizona State and BYU, starts with a shotgun format at 8:30 a.m. MDT on Tuesday.

Yes, But

While UTEP has seen success with a third-place finish in their last outing, the competitiveness of the field in the Cowgirl Classic raises questions about their ability to maintain momentum against stronger programs.

State of Play
  • The team is coming off three consecutive top-five finishes this season.
  • Blanca Yrizar is showing promising form, notching her first top-three finish at the last event.
What's Next

Following the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic, UTEP will shift its focus to the Conference USA Championships, aiming to build on their recent performance and secure a strong showing among conference rivals.

Bottom Line

As UTEP competes in the Cowgirl Classic, their recent success will be tested against a formidable lineup; maintaining their strong performance could bolster their confidence heading into the conference championship.
