BRIEF REVIEW

THE RUNAS EFFECT
Under direction of first year head coach Demi Runas, the Aggies have shown massive improvements from a year ago. With a younger squad that is completely made up of Sophomore's and Freshmen, Runas has guided this squad to contention each and every tournament of the year. Through three tournaments, the Aggies have finished 3rd, 10th, and 11th which leaves the Aggies currently ranked 38th among all regional teams when looking at Golfstat's adjusted rankings. As the Aggies close out the Fall, it will be yet another test for the up and coming squad to get more and more experience as they prepare for Spring competition and Big West Championships contention.
