PING/ASU Invitational Features Loaded Field

Ten top-25 teams will be standing in the way of another top-three finish for the No. 19 Cal women's golf team this weekend when it travels to Tempe, Ariz., for the PING/ASU Invitational.

The field of 17 different squads converging on the par-72, 6,230-yard course at the Karsten Golf Course includes all eight Pac-10 schools-No. 1 UCLA, No. 3 USC, No. 4 Arizona State, No. 11 Arizona, No. 24 Stanford and unranked Washington and Oregon State.

The Bears are coming off a third-place finish at the Duck Invitational in Eugene, Ore., last week.

Cal was led by freshman Pia Halbig, who nabbed a top-20 finish in Eugene.

The Bears will send Halbig along with juniors Shannon Yocum and Allison Goodman, sophomore Roseanne Niven and freshman Andrea Waters.

The three-day event begins today at 8 a.m. and will run through Sunday.
