Notes:

Seattle University will host the SeattleU Redhawk Invitational for the sixth time this Monday and Tuesday. It will be the Bulldogs' first trip to the event that is played annually at Chambers Bay, host site of the 2015 U.S. Open.
It will be a large field, 19 teams, competing for top honors. There are five Golfstat top 100 teams participating while UCLA is the top-ranked team checking in at No. 41. The Bulldogs are currently ranked No. 134.
This will be Fresno State's ninth event of the regular season and have one more, April 12-14, prior to the Mountain West Championships at the end of the month.
The Bulldogs earned a fifth place finish last time out, March 10-12, at the Bandon Dunes Championships. It was their best finish of the season. Fresno State rose as high as first place during the final round, but dropped to fifth against a competitive field down the stretch.
The Bulldogs will sport the same lineup this week that it took to Bandon Dunes last time out.
Senior Alex Lee has been the Bulldogs' top individual finisher in the last five consecutive events.
Lee leads the team with a 72.04 scoring average over 24 rounds this season.
Lee fired a Fresno State season-low 66 last time out. It tied his career-low for an against par score at 6-under.
After competing once for the 'Dogs during their fall schedule, freshman Tommy Stephenson has played in all three spring tournaments and will again be in the lineup this week. Stephenson owns a 73.13 scoring average, second-lowest on the team.
The Bulldogs' current 292.50 average team score is the best under head coach Chad Spencer. It ranks as the 13th-lowest team average since the 1993-94 season.
