CHANDLER, Ariz. — The Weber State women’s golf team wrapped up the 2013 Big Sky Conference golf championships on Tuesday at the Ocotillo Golf Resort, finishing seventh with a three-round total of 915.

NORTH STONINGTON, Conn. -- They say in golf that you can't win a tournament in the first round, but you can certainly lose one. The Wildcats may have just done the latter, as Weber State is 29 strokes back in the opening-round 319 of tournament favorite Sacramento State at the America Sky Golf Conference championships at Lake of Isles Golf Course.

OGDEN -- Weber State University director of golf Jeff Smith recently announced the hiring of Scott Erling as an assistant coach for the Wildcat golf programs.

Erling, whose primary responsibility will be coaching the men's golf team, replaces Dave Kearl, who retired this past fall after heading up the men's program at Weber State for the past 11 years.

"I'm really excited to be here," said Erling. "To get to be a part of Weber State, and to get to work with the kids is a dream come true for me. I can't wait for things to get started. I think we've got some really good kids, and we've got some really good things coming up for the future, so with (Jeff Smith's) guidance, I think things will be really good for the program."
