KONA, Hawai’i – No. 13 Arizona Women’s Golf will look to cap its successful Fall when it takes on conference foes in the Nanea Pac-12 Preview, beginning on Halloween. All 11 of the Pac-12’s women’s golf programs, in addition to Hawai’i, will compete for three days at the world-renowned Nanea Golf Club on the main island of Hawai’i. The Wildcats have posted a third place and runner-up finish in two of their three tournaments this season.
“The Pac-12 Preview is a first-class golf atmosphere in addition to being an event that we have great historical success at,” said head coach Laura Ianello. “It’s a great stage to end our outstanding Fall and an opportunity to play alongside the entire Pac-12 Conference. We have played high-level golf to start this year, and I look forward to our young ladies ending the semester on a high note.”
The 12-team field at the Nanea Pac-12 Preview includes five programs ranked in GolfStats’s most recent top-25 national rankings. The annual event is a staple of success for Arizona Women’s Golf with back-to-back wins in 2019 and 2018 in addition to a trio of top-three finishes in 2021, 2016 and 2015.
The 2021-22 season has gotten off to a strong start for the Cats that began with a runner-up finish at the season-opening tournament, the Mason Rudolph Championship.
