2 Day, 54 Hole tourney is hosted by UCLA at the 6,359yd, Par 72, Valencia CC in Valencia, CA. Top 50 ranked teams competing are #13 Arizona, #28 Cal, #29 Baylor, #31 UCLA, and #43 Pepperdine. Last season UCLA made the 2024 NCAA Final, losing to Stanford 3-2 in the championship match. At #36 Arizona's Charlotte Back is the highest ranked player in the field.
#104 Rutgers comes in after finishing 4th out of 15 at the Paradise Inv, placing 3 members in the Top 15 individually. It was their best result so far in '24-'25. They had another 4th at Louisville but Paradise was against a stronger field. There is also a wild card in the 12 team field. Rutgers is the only team from East of Texas BUT along with 11 NCAA D1 teams, there is Nihon University from Japan. All I know about them other than grads Mao Saigo was the '24 LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year and Shijeki Maruyama won 3 times on the PGA Tour between 2001 and 2003, is it's a large school (70k+), had a football team till recently, and turned out a number of Sumo Wrestlers.
Rutgers will go with their regular lineup led off by Frosh Joline Truong. Currently, she is Rutgers' highest ranked player at #369 out of 1,875 with enough qualifying rounds. In Round 1 she will be followed by Soph Lorena Rossettin, RsSo Grace Lu, Sr Lucrezia Rossettin, and Frosh Judy Amato. Soph Emily James will compete as an individual.
In Round 1, Rutgers will be paired with UCLA and Cal, teeing off #1 in the Shotgun Start. After that pairings likely will be based on leaderboard position.
