Back Spin: Last Year's Wahine Classic
Asa Jankler finished 14th, but no other Aztec was able to crack the top 50 as San Diego State combined to shoot a three-round total of 954 to finish 14th of 15 teams at 2000 Wahine Fall Classic. UCLA, which had two players finish in the top five, carded a combined 899 to take the team title. Washington's Elisha Au shot 5-over 221 to win medalist honors.
Last Time Out: 10th at New Mexico State
Heather Rollo finished 25th and Shayna Miyajima placed 33rd as SDSU shot a combined 929 to close out the Price's "Give 'Em Five" Intercollegiate in 10th place. Baylor (870) edged Arizona State in a one-hole playoff to take the team title. ASU's Jamin Kang (11-under 205) was the tournament's medalist.
Homecoming Queen
Next week's Wahine Fall Classic will be a homecoming of sorts for San Diego State sophomore Shayna Miyajima. Miyajima, who enters the tournament as the Aztecs' leader in stroke average, grew up in Wailuki on the nearby island of Maui.
Rollo Starts To Roll
After a disappointing 14-over 156 outing in Denver, senior Heather Rollo appears to be headed back in the right direction. Rollo fired a three-round total of 11-over 227 at New Mexico State for the third-best three-round score of her collegiate career. Last season, Rollo registered four top-10 finishes, and posted the Mountain West's ninth-best stroke average (77.6).
Young And Younger
San Diego State's lineup will be sporting a youthful hue at next week's Wahine Fall Classic as two sophomores and a freshman team up with a pair of seniors for the Aztecs. In fact, by the time fall play concludes, two players from each class will have played at least two round of competitive golf.
Aztec Coaching Staff
San Diego State will be led by head coach Neale Stoner and assistant coach Felicia Brown in 2001-2002 following the retirement of long-time head coach Diana Falar. Stoner coached the Aztec men from 1993-2000, leading the Aztecs to four NCAA regionals and a national championship appearance. Brown, who played at the University of Arizona and later professionally on the Players West Golf Tour, is in her first season on the Mesa.
