LAS VEGAS - The UNLV women's golf team will wrap up its fall schedule by hosting the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown, which gets underway at the Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder City, Nev., on Monday morning.

The Rebels will be fielding a pair of teams and overall there are 18 squads that will be competing in the three-day tournament that will be played on the par-72, 6,238-yard course. Included in the field are No. 5 Oklahoma State, No. 16 Louisville and No. 18 Pepperdine.

On the first UNLV team will be Therese Koelbaek, Natasha Krishna, Alejandra Guacaneme, Kristen Schelling and Melissa Mabanta. The second lineup will feature Nicole McGirr, Kasi Lee, Bethany Glassford, Victoria Oros and Stephanie Whatley.

"We are very excited to be hosting our home tournament at Boulder Creek Golf Club this fall," head coach Missy Ringler said. "We have a strong field playing and our team has been working extremely hard and we feel very confident that we are ready for this event. It is great to be back at full strength with Natasha and Therese having had time to get some well needed rest as well."

Monday's first tee times are set for 7:30 a.m. (PT) off of holes one and 10, and the same format will be used on Tuesday. Wednesday's final round will be an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start.
