The 2019 Mountain West Championships begin Monday morning in Rancho Mirage, California
LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) -Â Â With the regular season in the rearview mirror, the UNLV women's golf team will set its sights on the 2019 Mountain West Championships, which will take place at Rancho Mirage, California, April 16-18. The Rebels will be going for a fourth consecutive league title for the first time in program history. The three-day tournament will take place at Mission Hills Country Club, with first round play getting underway at 7 a.m. PT. UNLV will tee off beginning at 8 a.m. PT.
The Rebels finished the spring season with five top-10 finishes and four top-six finishes in six tournaments, which included a team victory at the Battle at Boulder Creek and a runner-up finish at the Rebel Beach Invitational. UNLV saw individual wins from senior Elizabeth Prior and sophomore Polly Mack, who tied for first at the Battle at Boulder Creek, while Prior recorded a seven-shot outright win at Rebel Beach and Mack captured her first career outright medalist honor with a two-shot victory at the Mountain View Invitational in Tucson.
Prior and Mack earned Co-Mountain West Golfer of the Week honors after the shared title at Boulder Creek and each went on to win another conference weekly award after their respective individual wins.
UNLV has won three straight Mountain West titles twice in its history - 2004-06 and 2016-18 - making a fourth straight championship next week unprecedented. The Scarlet and Gray has had five individual medalist honorees at the event, with the most recent Rebel to win it being former standout Alexandra Kaui in 2016. If UNLV can make history in Rancho Mirage next week, it will be the fourth championship in eight years under head coach Amy Bush-Herzer.
