Thought I'd start this consolidated pre- and regular-season thread now, as the team has released their schedule for the 2018/19 year.
(Although the "real" NCAA and Pac 12 Championship season is in the spring, they compete in the same number of tournaments in the fall. I plan on us using this thread for all women's golf news and results until the Pac 12 championships get their own thread in mid- April.)
Best wishes to the team for a great fall season!

BOULDER — University of Colorado women's golf coach Anne Kelly announced the team's 2018-19 schedule on Friday, which will feature five fall events and five spring events leading into the postseason.
The Buffaloes are set to open the season in the Branch Law Firm Invitational, September 10-11, in Albuquerque, N.M. The two-day tournament, hosted by the University of New Mexico will feature 36 holes on the first day and then conclude with the third and final 18-hole round on day two. The event will mark the ninth time in program history Colorado has played in the tournament.
Colorado returns to the links October 1-2 to play in the Windy City Classic, hosted by Northwestern University in Chicago, Ill. In their third tournament of the season, the Buffaloes travel to Austin, Texas, to compete in the Betsy Rawls Invite, Oct. 19-21. The fourth fall tournament will keep Colorado in the state of Texas with the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas, Texas, Oct. 29-30.
The fall season will conclude for the Buffs in Kona, Hawai'i, for a fifth consecutive year as they are slated to play in the Pac-12 Fall Preview, November 5-7.

Regarding team's changes- the official 2018/19 roster hasn't been released yet, but assume one will be available soon at https://cubuffs.com/roster.aspx?path=wgolf . From what I/ we already know:

Regarding team's changes- the official 2018/19 roster hasn't been released yet, but assume one will be available soon at https://cubuffs.com/roster.aspx?path=wgolf . From what I/ we already know:
- They lost one important player to graduation after last season in senior leader Brittany Fan.
- From what I'd found and put in the Olympic Sport Recruiting thread, I know of 2 incoming freshmen- Malak Bouraeda from Southlake TX and Kelsey Webster from Boulder (Fairview HS). (Both were formally announced as signing with the Buffs in an article at https://cubuffs.com/news/2017/11/8/kelly-adds-two-to-2018-womens-golf-team.aspx?path=wgolf.)
- I wasn't listening AT ALL closely, so it could very well NOT be true, but I believe I might (???) have heard Coach Kelly mention in an interview on a Pac 12 Network Buff-centric show that there is also a grad school transfer coming in, but IF there is, I don't know who it might be at this point. (With the new season roster not out, no idea if there are any out-going transfers.)
