THE FIELD
The field features 12 teams, five from the Pac-12 Conference with only No. 1 Stanford ranked in the top 25 of the latest Golfweek poll. The No. 43 ranked Colorado will compete against Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Nevada, San Jose State, UC Davis, Long Beach State, San Francisco, New Mexico State and Washington State.
Â
Five Buffaloes are on the trip and will count toward team scoring-senior Ester Lee, junior Brittany Fan, freshman Kirsty Hodgkins, freshman Robyn Choi along with Lauryn Keating.

LAST TIME OUT
Buffs End Fall With A Big Jump Up Pac-12 Preview Standing
Colorado closed out the fall season at Kailua Kona, Hawaii where they posted a 30-over 906 at the Pac-12 Preview Tournament at the 6,372-yard, par 73 Nanea Golf Club.
Â
Kirsty Hodgkins led the Buffs on the final day of stroke play shooting 4-under 69 to finish in ninth overall. Senior Esther Lee and sophomore Gillian Vance both shot an even 73 while freshman Robyn Choi carded a 3-over76.

On The Start Of The Spring Season
The start of the spring season is always interesting. Our team has been able to get outside for practice a little bit at home, but it has been a challenge. Everyone seems to be hitting the ball well and excited to play. I just hope we get to play a practice round [Friday] so the team can tune up their short games.
Â
On What to Expect this Weekend
I expect to see a little bit of everything, good shots mixed in with a few misses just until we can get out, get the rust off and get a few tournament rounds under our belt. I do know the players will give it their all and compete hard this weekend. They are very determined to have a successful tournament and spring season.
Â
THE COURSE:
Located in the foothills, overlooking Stanford's campus, the par-71, 6,084-yard course is consistently rated as one of the finest in the world. The Buffaloes opened its spring season in the same tournament the past three years, and last season they finished sixth out of 12 teams. The Buffs shot a 594, 26 over-par and Lee anchored the team with a 3-over par 145 scorecard to tie for 11th place overall.
