NAPA, California -- No. 16 Northwestern women's golf tees up the final event of their regular-season on Monday morning at Silverado Resort (6,146 yards; Par-72) among a field that includes three Top-10 opponents and eight Top-25 teams in the current Golfstat rankings.

The Wildcats are coming off a runaway win at the PING/ASU Invitational last weekend in Phoenix, finishing 14 strokes ahead of the runner-up and placing all five scoring golfers in the Top-15, headlined by Kelly Sim. The New Jersey native finished 10-under to capture her second PING/ASU title (also a winner in 2021) and the third tournament crown of her decorated career. 

Head coach Emily Fletcher and assistant Beth Miller's lineup will include Sim, Dianna Lee, Lauryn Nguyen, Jieni Li, and Irene Kim, with Jennifer Cai competing as an individual. Northwestern will be paired with Pepperdine and Texas A&M for Round 1, with Kim getting the 'Cats started from the first tee at 9:30am PT. 

Northwestern has steadily climbed the national rankings this spring, and will look to close out the regular-season campaign strong before heading into the Big Ten Championships and NCAA Regionals.
