The collegiate golf season starts before the collegiate golf season. That is to say, the NCAA lists men’s and women’s golf as spring sports, but teams often compete in tournaments in the fall as well.
Although the fall tournaments are preseason competitions, they affect the rankings put out by Golfweek and the Women’s Golf Coaches Association. Golfweek’s preseason rankings put the Waves at No. 25 in the nation.
“I think it’s a fair ranking,” Head Coach Laurie Gibbs said. “I believe not only that we can achieve that — I believe we can definitely exceed that.”
