RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Colorado State slipped in the final round and finished eighth at the 2022 Mountain West Women's Golf Championship Wednesday.

No. 5 San Jose State cruised to a 30-shot team victory, finishing at 4-under 860 ahead of runner-up New Mexico at 26-over 890. Fresno State was third at 27-over 891, with Boise State (28-over 892) and No. 50 UNLV (29-over 893) completing the top five teams.

"We are definitely disappointed at how we played today," head coach Laura Cilek said. "We were in a good spot to make a move going into the day, and we did not capitalize on it.  Looking at the big picture, it was a great year of development for us. We have the entire roster returning next year, and I am confident, with the hard work we put in over the summer, that we will be ready to get out and compete again in the fall."
