The LC State Women's Golf team has broken into the NAIA Top 25 rankings at No. 19 after a hot start to the spring season. The Warriors have earned two team titles, including a win at their home event, The Warrior Spring Classic. LC State is also ranked No. 20 in the Scoreboard rankings, and individual players Giulia Belfontali and Jane Barry have each earned tournament wins so far this spring.

Why it matters

The Warriors' rise in the national rankings is a significant achievement for the program and highlights the team's competitiveness against other top NAIA programs. As the Cascade Conference's second-highest ranked team behind British Columbia, LC State's success could boost the conference's profile in women's golf.

The details

The Warriors earned their second team title of the season with a victory at The Warrior Spring Classic earlier this month. They will face another tough test next week at the Roadrunner Spring Invitational hosted by No. 2 Dalton State (Ga.). Individually, Giulia Belfontali is ranked just outside the top 100 nationally at No. 104, while Jane Barry has also earned an individual tournament win this spring.
