The Eastern Michigan University (EMU) women's golf team is preparing to compete in the 2024 Rainbow Wahine Invitational, scheduled for October 21-23. The event will take place at the Kapolei Golf Club in Kapolei, O'ahu, Hawai'i. This three-day tournament is hosted by the University of Hawai'i and features a field of 15 teams, including Osaka Gakuin University from Japan.
Representing EMU are Savannah de Bock, Mariana Vega, Julianna Go, Riley Kim, Amaya Melendez, and Maddysun Beeching. De Bock has been notable this season with a scoring average of 70.1 and is ranked #56 nationally according to Scoreboard Rankings. She recently won her first collegiate tournament at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic.
The Rainbow Wahine Invitational includes teams from across the United States such as Austin Peay, Colorado State, Gonzaga, Grand Canyon, Kansas State among others. The competition involves playing 54 holes over three days with live results available online.
Reflecting on past performances in Hawai'i, EMU last participated in the Rainbow Wahine Invitational in 2012 where they finished fourth overall. In recent rankings released by Scoreboard and DI Mizuno WCGA Coaches Polls, none of the participating teams are currently within the national top 25.
Following this event in Hawai'i, EMU will conclude their fall season at the Hurricane Invitational held in Coral Gables, Florida on October 28-29.
