PALM DESERT, Calif. – Seattle U women's golf begins the spring season Monday, taking part in the Mountain Classic Matchplay, cohosted by Boise State and Wyoming. The two-day event is scheduled to take place at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, California. The first round of matches tee off on Monday at 7 a.m. with round two starting after the conclusion of round one. The tournament will be concluded on Tuesday with the final round of play teeing off at 7 a.m.
Instead of the usual stroke play format, the Mountain Classic Matchplay includes team-based scoring where the teams compete in head-to-head matchups. Nevada and Boise State occupy the top two-seeds, while Montana State, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Southern Utah and the Redhawks round out of the field.
