One last week of play remains this fall as WAC golfers prepare to put their clubs away for the winter. Three teams will be at the Little Rock Golf Classic as California Baptist, Kansas City and Utah Valley will all meet up in Hot Springs Village, Ark. NM State will be just outside Las Vegas for the UNLV Collegiate Showdown in Boulder City, Nev. Finally, Grand Canyon heads to the islands for the Rainbow Wahine Invitaitonal in Kapalei, Hawai'i.

California Baptist's Jocelyn Chee became the first medalist of the season, tying for the top spot at the Hobble Creek Fall Classic with an even-par 213 over 54 holes. NM State became the first WAC team to win a tournament, taking first at the Colonel Wollenberg's Ptarmigan Ram Classic with a 26-over-par 890. The Aggies picked up another team and individual title at their own Aggie Invitational as Amelia McKee took home medalist honors with a 5-under-par 211 and NM State earned the team title with a 3-under-par 861.
