DALLAS, Texas – BYU women’s golf is set to begin its spring season on February 2-3 at the Trinity Forest Invitational.  

The two-day, 54-hole tournament is hosted by SMU at the par-72 Trinity Forest Golf Club. The Cougars will face a challenging field of thirteen opponents, among them, No. 1 Baylor, No. 11 Oklahoma State, No. 14 Texas Tech, No. 20 Texas and No. 23 Kansas State.  

Teeing off for the Cougars in Dallas will be senior Naomi Soifua (Provo, Utah), junior Allysha Mae Mateo (Honolulu, Hawaii), sophomores Kerstin Fotu (Alpine, Utah) and Cynthia Tu (Vienna, Virginia) and freshman Lila Galeai (Orem, Utah).  

Monday’s action will be the first for BYU since competing in three events during the fall. The Cougars were led by Mateo who posted top 10 finishes in all three tournaments, including runner-up at the Lady Red Wolves Classic in Jonesboro, Arkansas where she finished with a three-day score of 211 at 5-under-par (68-73-70).  

This week’s tournament is one of seven events scheduled for the Cougars’ spring season and the first since a seventh-place finish at the Mercer Invitational on November 9-10.  

The team will tee-off at Trinity Oaks on Monday with a shotgun start to a 36-hole day, followed by 18 holes on Tuesday. Fans are allowed at the tournament, although they are asked to wear masks and maintain distance from coaches and players.
