Mateo, from Honolulu, Hawaii, paced the BYU women’s golf team to a seventh-place finish with a 54-hole total of 301-313-307—921 at the par-72 Brickyard Golf Club on Nov. 9-10.

“It was so nice to have the opportunity to play golf this semester,” BYU head coach Carrie Roberts said. “I’m happy for Allysha. She had a lot of success this fall with some great finishes. As a team we are looking forward to working hard this off-season as we get ready for the spring season."
