(Kapolei, HI) - USF women's golf is in Hawaii to compete in the 10th Annual Kent Youel Invitational, hosted by the University of Hawaii at the Kapolei Golf Course. The 54-hole tournament begins Tuesday, October 28 with 36 holes and is the final event for San Francisco in the 2008 fall season.

USF won the Kent Youel in 2006, playing under stormy conditions. The Dons were led by Jessica Potter, who posted a fourth place showing, while Christina Stockton placed fifth after carding a team-low with a one-under 71 in the final round.

"We are looking forward to competing this week," USF head coach Ria Quiazon said. "It is always exciting to travel to Hawaii and to play against a strong field on a great golf course. We are focused on a strong finish to a solid fall season."

Entering its final event of the fall season, San Francisco has posted three consecutive top-five showings and placed fourth in a strong field at the 2008 Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational in its last event. The Dons enter the Kent Youel Invitational ranked No. 39 according to the current Golfweek.com poll.
