“Pumpkin Ridge is a very challenging layout, so overall, the team has played well against a ranked D-III team,” said Bruins coach MaryJo McCloskey, pointing to a pre-season rating of No. 19 nationally for UC-Santa Cruz in the NCAA Division III by World Golf magazine.

 The second and final day of the dual match will tee off at 10:30 a.m. Monday at Pumpkin Ridge.
