San Marcos, Texas – Texas State women's golf team looks to tie the school season record of three tournament victories, beginning Friday at the Mountainview Intercollegiate in Mesa, Ariz. The tournament is hosted by Missouri and Kansas State.

"We are excited to get back into competition. It has been a few weeks since we played. The team has been working hard to improve. This should be a good tune up for the WAC Championship that will be held in Mesa, Ariz., in April."

The Bobcats won by an impressive 19 strokes in its last tournament, at the Jim West Challenge in Blanco. At that event, Iman Nordin won her first individual tournament by a stroke, thanks to a final round 72.

Also in the field this week aside from the host schools will be Indiana, Iowa, North Texas, Texas Tech and WAC school San Jose State among others.

Competing for the Bobcats will be the nation's leader in birdies Krista Puisite, the aforementioned Nordin along with Valdis Jonsdottir, Lejan Lewthwaite and Lora Assad. Krista's sister Mara will be competing as an individual.

There will be 36 holes played on Friday and 18 on Saturday. This will be the final tournament before the Bobcats host the Challenge at Onion Creek on April 1-2 in Austin.
