PORTLAND, Ore. – The Northwest Conference Women’s Fall Classic will serve as a preview of what’s to come at the NWC Championship in April, with the Lewis & Clark Pioneers hosting both tournaments at Heron Lakes Golf Club in Portland, Ore.

The women’s teams will be playing on the Green Back Course. The Green Back is is a classic municipal golf course: challenging yet straightforward. The course provides a fair amount of trouble areas, but they are counteracted by sizable landing areas and large greens.

The Whitworth Pirates were the Fall Classic Team Champions, as well as the Spring Classic Champions, but lost the NWC team title to the Puget Sound Loggers. The Loggers came from behind to tie the Pirates in total points after the three tournaments. Because the Loggers won the NWC Championship they were chosen to represent the conference at the NCAA tournament. The Loggers went on to finish 18th at the NCAA Tournament in Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Individually, Sarah Bicker earned the NWC title after shooting a 162, finishing just one stroke over Brynn Hurdus of Linfield and Whitney Ueno of Willamette.
