Dominican, Point Loma Make Charge at WG Championships

The Penguins are the second day leaders, with Hilo second and Point Loma third. Monday's leader Westmont is now fourth.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Two teams made significant charges on a wind-blown second day of the Pacific West Conference Women’s Golf Championships on Tuesday at the Aliante Golf Course.

Dominican, Point Loma and Hawaii Hilo moved past first day leader Westmont to change the trophy chasing dynamic through 36 holes. All eight PacWest teams will tee it up again on Wednesday morning for the final 18 holes of the championship.

Dominican (+21) has a three-shot lead on Hawaii Hilo (+24) after 36 holes. Point Loma is third (+29) and Westmont is fourth (+34). The Sea Lions had the best team score of the day at +6 with the Penguins next at +10.

Rounding out the top eight are Hawaii Pacific (+45), Menlo (+51), Jessup (+54) and Vanguard (+57).

Yesterday’s leader Hannah Camara of Westmont is today’s leader as well. Camara sits at -2 after shooting a 74 today. Menlo’s Kim Penzold gained ground with a 70 to pull to even par, just two shots back.

Isabella Iorio (Hawaii Pacific) is third (+1), Theresa Shaw is fourth (+2) and Elle Otani (Hilo) follows (+3). Tied for sixth at +4 is Madi Whitney (Dominican) and Annika Yturraide (Point Loma), and rounding out the top ten at +6 is Kiersten Saludares (Hilo), Allie Nguyen (Point Loma) and Avery Kraatz (Dominican).

Regardless of what happens tomorrow, there will be a new PacWest champ in 2026. The last three conference champions are Biola and Holy Names, who aren’t in the field this spring.
