Notes:
• Tulsa will host its 20th tournament in program history April 10-11, but it will be the first trip for the Fresno State women's golf program – and first trip to Oklahoma. The first year Tulsa hosted a tournament was in 1976; it was renamed the Dale McNamara Invitational in 2010 and this will be the fifth edition having not hosted the event since the fall of 2013.
• The site, Tulsa Country Club, served as the host site for the 1999 and 2014 NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships.
• The tournament is named after former Tulsa women's golf coach Dale McNamara. McNamara coached 26 years at Tulsa and guided the program to four national championships.
• By Golfstat rankings, No. 72 Fresno State enters Tulsa's event as the third-lowest graded team behind No. 26 BYU and No. 58 New Mexico State. The remaining six teams are outside the top 100.
• Gudrun Bjorgvinsdottir is currently the sole Bulldog ranked in the Golfstat Individual Top 250 poll; she was last ranked No. 181.
• Mountain West women's golfers of the week: Mimi Ho and Kristin Simonsen earned back-to-back weekly accolades for Fresno State, announced March 21 (tournaments played March 13-17) and March 28 (tournaments played March 20-22).
• Of the Bulldogs in the lineup this week, the group will change after three-straight events with the same five as Hayden Mammen will make her Fresno State debut in Oklahoma.
• Weather at the Dale McNamara Invitational on Monday (High 74F, Low 49F) is forecasted to have a 10 percent chance of rain and 10-15 mph winds; Tuesday (High 71F, Low 48F) is forecasted to have a zero percent chance of rain and 5-10 mph winds.
