Boise State Women Off to Last Place Start

The Bronco women knew going into the Western Athletic Conference Golf Championship that they were at the bottom looking up, and the view hasn't changed so far. 


Boise State is currently a plus 14, tied for last with Nevada and 12 strokes behind leader Hawai'i.  The Wahine are just two shots over on the Mesa, Arizona course while San Jose State and Idaho are tied at 4 over.  Fresno State is plus 7 while New Mexico State is in fifth, 11 over par.


Update--The rest of the lower tier is trying to come down to Boise State's level, so if the Lady Broncos can get their game going, they might be able to move up by default.  Pre-meet favorite San Jose State is now in first, 9 strokes over.  Hawai'i is now 11 over with Idaho 16 over in third place.  New Mexico State and Nevada, two schools that are chasing Boise State for the WAC Commissioner's Cup, are tied at 18 over par, with Fresno State 20 over and Boise State now 24 over.

Update--This indeed happened, as Idaho is now 30 over for last place--after the bad start, Boise State seemed to settle down and finished 26 over.  New Mexico State finished the first round 21 over and Fresno State 24 over, so the Broncos are in position to finish in the upper half, provided they relax and play with confidence tomorrow.  Nevada finished as the first round leader 17 over while San Jose State is 18 over.
