TUCSON – The Cal State Monterey Bay women's golf team placed sixth at the West Texas Desert Invite played at the Ventana Canyon Golf Course. Freshman Khivi Kaur paced the Otters with a fourth place finish at the par-72 course.

Khivi had a great tournament, shooting a solid one-under par 71 today and posting a top-five finish. Cathy had a slow start today but finished strong to post 74. This was a good warm up for our conference tournament in two weeks."
