LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - After a weekend off, the Rebels are heading to the Lone Star State for the second time in a month, closing out their fall slate at the Trinity Forest Invitational presented by Vic Salvino Nov. 7-8 in Dallas. The 54-hole tournament hosted by SMU will take place at the par-72 6,246 yard course at Trinity Forest Golf Club.
UNLV is coming off its best performance of the season when the team finished second in its own tournament, the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown. The annual tournament at the Rebels' home course of Boulder Creek Golf Club took place Oct. 23-25 and was shortened from three rounds to two due to weather. The Scarlet and Gray sunk six birdies in the final three holes to jump from fifth to second with a 17-under 559, with all five members finishing under par for the first time this season. Alexandra Kaui and Harley Dubsky were UNLV's top-two team finishers after they tied for 10th with a 5-under 139. Playing individually, sophomore Alyssa Getty shot a 66 in the final round to finish in a tie for sixth with a 6-under 138.
