Team Outlook: The Bruins welcome back three players from last year's fivesome that finished fifth at the NCAA Championships, plus two other letterwinners. Complementing the veterans are four talented recruits.

Junior Sophie Sandolo is the Bruins' top returning player. She ranked 10th nationally last season after leading the Bruins with a 75.1 stroke average and begins the 1997-98 campaign ranked 6th.

Senior Amandine Vincent averaged 76.4 a year ago with five top five finishes and begins the season ranked eighth in the preseason MasterCard poll.

Sophomore Alexandra Gasser, the third returnee from last year's NCAA fivesome, averaged 79.1 as a freshman and begins the season among the nationally ranked honorable mention group.

Freshmen Laura Moffat from West Kilbride, Scotland, and Julie Oh of Torrance also received honorable mention in the preseason rankings. They are part of a UCLA recruiting class that includes 1997 Los Angeles City Junior champion Leilani Bagby of Santa Monica and 1997 U.S Women's Amateur participant Alicia Um.

Rolex Fall Preview: The third annual Rolex Fall Preview will be held at the 1998 NCAA Champioships site, the University Ridge Golf Course at the University of Wisconsin. The course measures 6,033 yards and plays to a par of 72. Among the 18-team field are six of the nation's top 10 ranked teams, including defending NCAA champion Arizona State, No. 2 Arizona and the fourth ranked Bruins. The Bruins hold the 54 hole scoring record of 879 and the single day record of 28, both set at LaQuinta Golf Course in 1995. Arizona's Marisa Baena is the defending champion and the Wildcats also are the defending team champions. Results can be obtained by calling the Info Connection at 770-399-3066.
