March 12, 2008--The Lady Rebel golf team burst out of the gate and into the lead following the first round of the team's home event, the UNLV Spring Rebel Invitational, played at Las Vegas golf course Boulder Creek Golf Club. But a poor second round followed up by missed opportunities in the third and final round spelled doom for the Lady Rebels, ranked 55th by Golfweek heading into the tournament. They finished 6th at nine-over par. The Rebels were in sixth after round two, but had climbed to within a few shots of the lead during the final round, but a devastating finish ended all hopes. The Rebels, as a team, played the final two holes in a total of 7-over par, including 5-over on the 18th hole, a tough par four. "It's extremely important to hold on to each stroke, and that's how you win tournaments," said Head Coach Missy Ringler immediately following the finish of Therese Koelbaek (pictured), the final Rebel on the course who made a bogey on 18.

March 11, 2008 (UPDATED March 12)--With all of the talk surrounding who is in and who is out of the NCAA basketball tournament, it was easy for Golfweek Magazine college golf guru Lance Ringler to make a comparision with that event when talking about the UNLV women's golf home event. According to Ringler, host of Off Campus TV at golfweektv.com, the UNLV Spring Invitational, being played at the 27-hole Boulder Creek Golf Club, features many teams who are "on the bubble" and that could either make it or not to the NCAA golf playoffs. UNLV was leading the event after round one with a terrific 4-under par team score. Entering the final round, the Rebels had fallen into sixth. The field includes several teams between the 35 and 60th in the Golfweek rankings, and Ringler says that the top 55 teams should get into the regional playoffs. And a good finish in Las Vegas will go a long way. UNLV's Natasha Krishna (pictured) was in 6th--she fell to 21st entering the final round--, with the help of her second ace of the season.
