RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (UNLVRebels.com) - With the regular season in the rearview mirror, the UNLV women's golf team will tee off Monday morning at the 2022 Mountain West Conference Championship at Mission Hills Country Club. The three-day 54-hole tournament will take place April 18-20 on the Dinah Shore Course (Par 72 6,270 yards) with one round played each day. Tee times begin at 7 a.m. every morning. 

Heading into the conference title event, the Rebels are the No. 2 ranked team in the league with a 73.32 adjusted scoring average. Fifth-ranked San Jose State has been the top team in 2021-22 with a scoring average of 71.65, while New Mexico is just behind UNLV in third at 73.95.
