CARBONDALE, Ill. - After not competing for almost a month, the Southern Illinois University women's golf team returns to action this week at the Kent Youel Invitational in Kapolei, Hawaii. The tournament will consist of 36 holes Tuesday and 18 holes Wednesday, with a 7:30 a.m., shotgun start both days.
SIU hasn't played in a tournament since Oct. 14, when it finished sixth out of 13 teams at the Lady Indian Classic. The sixth-place showing marked the Salukis' highest in three tournaments this fall.
This year's Kent Youel Invitational is made up of 17 teams. In addition to SIU, Brigham Young, Cal State-Northridge, Colorado, Hawaii, Long Beach State, New Mexico State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Oregon State, Portland State, San Francisco, San Jose State, Santa Clara, Texas A&M, UC Irvine and Washington will also participate in the event.
Seniors Amy Rankin and Megan Tarrolly currently lead all Saluki golfers this season. Rankin tops the team with a 78.6 average, while Tarrolly ranks second with a 79.5.
