Notes
- Fresno State closes out its regular season tournament schedule with its annual home-hosted Fresno State Classic. The Fresno State Classic will be the team's fifth event of the abbreviated 2020-21 regular season.
- The Fresno State Classic enters its 16th year, an annual tradition that began during the program's inaugural 2004‐05 season. It would be the 17th event in the 17‐year history of the program had not the 2020 edition been canceled due to the COVID‐19 pandemic.
- Fresno State has won its own event five times, with the last being in 2016.
- The Bulldogs enter the 2021 Fresno State Classic ranked No. 78 by Golfstat and is one of the three teams competing this year ranked inside the top 100. The 'Dogs are joined by Stanford (No. 26) and Cal Poly (No. 81).
- The Bulldogs have two individuals ranked inside Golfstat's individual top 250, led by senior Brigitte Thibault at No. 75, and followed by Jessica Hall at No. 243.
- This will be Thibault's second Fresno State Classic, as a sophomore she missed it due to a special invitation to participate in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur. She was invited once again in 2021, but that did not conflict with the Bulldogs' home event as it was played on April 2-3. In her sole FS Classic as a freshman, she finished T-9th as she carded a 5-over-par 221.
- Kristin Simonsen is the Bulldogs' most veteran player to the Fresno State Classic, participating in her fourth Classic in 2021. The sixth-year senior's top finish is fifth during her freshman season in 2016 behind a 1-over-par 145 in a 36 hole-event.
- The Bulldogs' average season scores for its starting lineup in the 2021 Fresno State Classic are as follows: Thibault (72.67), Hall (74.58), Lynch (76.75), Paradis (77.50) & Simonsen (78.67).
- The Bulldogs' average team score in 2021 is 300.17 over its four tournaments played thus far.
