On Monday, the NCAA women’s golf rankings were announced, and sitting in the 22nd spot were the 2016 Big Sky Conference Champions — the Idaho Vandals.
“It is an honor and a tribute to our team and university to be ranked this high early in the year,” Idaho head coach Lisa Johnson said in a press release. “We will use this as a springboard for the rest of the season.”
Shortly after hearing the good news, the Vandals competed at the Golfweek Conference Challenge Monday through Wednesday in Wolcott, Colorado.
Sophomore Sophie Hausmann sat in fourth place after the first round, firing a 1-under-par 71.
