Women's Golf:

Aug. 2, 2007

IRVINE, Calif. --- The UC Irvine women's golf program rates high in all three categories of Golf Digest's rankings as part of the publication's third annual College Golf Guide. The Guide was established to assist high school golfers in their selections of colleges to attend.

The three rankings included in the 2007-08 Guide are: Balanced ranking, for students who place equal emphasis on school and sports; Golf First ranking, for students with aspirations of playing professional golf; Academics First ranking, for students who are focused on education but also desire to play competitive golf. The "Balanced" ranking is the best indicator for the majority of students wishing to play golf, according to Golf Digest.

The UCI program ranks 16th nationally in the "Balanced" category, 11th in "Golf First" and 27th in "Academics First." Duke is first in all three rankings. UCI was the highest-rated Big West Conference school in all three rankings.

The Anteaters won the Big West title in April. Coach Julie Brooks' team finished fifth at the NCAA West Regional and 19th at the NCAA Finals.
