KAPALUA, MAUI, HAWAI'I - Fresh off a win at the Gifford Great 8 Collegiate Match Play, the seventh-ranked Bruins return to stroke play starting on Monday at the Anuenue Spring Break Classic. The three-day tournament runs through Wednesday at the Kapalua Bay Course's par-72, 6,012-yard layout.
The scoring fivesome for the Bruins will consist of junior Erin Choi, sophomores Lilia Vu and Bethany Wu and freshmen Mariel Galdiano and Clare Legaspi. A trio of Bruins, senior Hadas Libman and juniors Lydia Choi and Joo Seo, will be playing as individuals. Play will begin each day at 7:45 a.m. HT/10:45 a.m. PT with a shotgun start. The UCLA scoring group will start on holes #8-#11 on Monday, while the individuals will begin on holes #13-#15. Live scoring will be available here.
Joining the Bruins in the 15-team field, along with host Hawai'i, are #1 Stanford, #3 Arizona State, #32 Colorado, #42 San Jose State, Albany, Fresno State, Gonzaga, Mercer, Osaka Gakuin, Santa Clara, Seattle, UC Davis and Utah Valley.
The Bruins have a pair of wins during the 2016-2017 season after winning earlier this month at Brentwood Country Club. UCLA defeated Oregon (4-1) in the quarterfinals, Colorado (3-2) in the semifinals and USC (3-2) in the championship. In their last stroke-play event, the Bruins finished second by one shot to Stanford at the Bruin Wave Invitational (Feb. 27-28) in San Luis Obispo. UCLA has four Top Three finishes in stroke-play tournaments this season, including a win at the Stanford Intercollegiate (Oct. 14-15).
Vu, the team leader in scoring average at 72.7, went 3-0 at the Gifford Great 8 after winning the Bruin Wave. She was the only player not to finish over par in San Luis Obispo, shooting an even-par 219, including an opening-round 3-under 70. Her first collegiate victory marked her third Top Five finish of the season, as she also placed second at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate (Sept. 25-27, -10, 206) and tied for fifth at the Stanford Intercollegiate (Oct. 14-15, +1, 143).
Galdiano is second in scoring average at 72.9 and tied for third at the Bruin Wave (+4, 223), going 2-1 at the Gifford Great 8. Like Vu, she also has three Top Five showings, finishing second at the Nanea Pac-12 Preview (Oct. 24-25, -4, 215) and T-5 in the single round of stroke play at East Lake (Oct. 31, -1, 71). Wu, who went 1-0-2 at the Gifford Great 8, is third on the team in scoring average at 73.9. Her season-best finish was a T-8 at Stanford (+2, 144), while she also has three additional Top 20s.
In her season debut, Erin Choi placed 13th at the Bruin Wave (+8, 227). She was the lone player in the field under par during the final round, posting a 1-under 72. Choi went 1-1-1 at the Gifford Great 8. Legaspi, who was also 1-1-1 at the Gifford, played as an individual at the Bruin Wave, finishing sixth (+5, 224). It was her second Top 10 of the season, as she was eighth in the single round of stroke play at East Lake (E, 72).
