MANHATTAN, Kan. – Rutgers women's golf is set for competition at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational, hosted by Kansas State at Colbert Hills Golf Club.
The Scarlet Knights will hit the links for a practice round on Sunday morning before kicking things off on Monday morning. Round one is set for a 9:39 a.m. ET shotgun start on Monday, with round two right after. The third and final round will be a 9:30 a.m. ET shotgun start on Tuesday morning.

Lorena Rossettin set a freshman record at RU with a 4-under 68 in round two, while Leigha Devine was able to close out the event with a 1-under 71.
