ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV women's golf team concluded its season Wednesday with a pair of top-25 finishes from sophomore Amber Chen and junior Zi Yu Foong at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional held at University of Michigan Golf Course (Par 71, 6,260 yards).

REBEL ROUNDUP: Chen (+4), who led the Rebels' final-round scorecard at 2-over 73 with 15 par-or-better holes and two birdies on the day, tied for 19th in her first NCAA Regional appearance. Foong (+7), meanwhile, picked up her second career top-25 outing in the NCAA postseason as she tied for 24th.

Rounding out the Scarlet & Gray's four NCAA Regional debuts, freshman Demi Du (+15) tied for 42nd, junior Jane Huang (+18) tied for 48th and freshman Lana Yamagata (+29) followed in 61st.

SECOND-ROUND HIGHLIGHTS: For the third consecutive day, the Rebels went unblemished on at least one hole. All five UNLV players in the lineup tallied a par on the par-5 11th hole, which is the course's second longest hole at 507 yards.

FINAL LEADERBOARD: USC won the team title at 1-over for the tournament and was joined in advancing to the NCAA Championship by Ohio State (+6) in second, Duke (+16) in third, Northwestern (+17) in fourth and Texas Tech (+22) in fifth. The Rebels (+41) posted the best finish among non-Power-4 programs at the regional site, landing three spots out of an advancing spot with a tied-for-eighth performance.
