UNLV Women's Golf Tournament Notes 
OFF THE TEE: The UNLV women's golf team is headed to the NCAA West Regional, which will be held May 8-10 at Lincoln Hills Golf Club in Sacramento, Calif. This will be the sixth-straight NCAA Regional appearance for the Rebels in the seven-year history of the program, all of which have come with Missy Ringler as their head coach, and UNLV will be the 16th seed in the tournament. UNLV's highest finish in a NCAA Regional tournament came in 2004, when the Rebels finished second in the East Regional to Duke. The Rebels are familiar with the course, as they played there less than a month ago at the Sacramento State Invitational, where UNLV tied for fourth overall. Sophomore Natasha Krishna paced UNLV, finishing fifth with a three-round score of 219 (+3) on the par-72 course. UNLV is one of two teams from the Mountain West Conference in the West Regional, joining BYU in the 21-team field. The field also features eight teams in Golfweek's latest top 25, including No. 1 USC, No. 5 Arizona State, No. 7 Oklahoma State, No. 9 Arkansas, No. 13 Arizona, No. 17 Michigan Sate, No. 22 Cal and No. 25 Stanford.
