SAN MARCOS, Calif. – The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) has selected Cal State San Marcos to host the 2019 CCAA Women’s Golf Championships on April 15-17 at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

“We are honored to get the opportunity to host the conference tournament in San Diego at a great golf course,” CSUSM head coach Greg Hutton said. “The university is excited to welcome the CCAA and conference schools to North County.”

This marks the first time CSUSM will host a conference championship with the Cougars being able to compete in it. CSUSM hosted the 2016-17 CCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships while the Cougars were in their second year of transition to NCAA Division II, but they were not eligible to compete.

The Cougars will look to defend their 2018 CCAA Championship title. In the inaugural championship tournament held at Sonoma Golf Club, the Cougars won with a 19-stroke cushion to capture the school’s first-ever CCAA Championship. Then-sophomore Jaime Jacob also made school history by becoming CSUSM’s first individual champion after carding a 4-over 220 in the 54-hole, three-day tournament.

The field of six teams include CSUSM, Cal State East Bay, Cal State L.A., Cal State Monterey Bay, Chico State and Sonoma State. The 2019 CCAA Women’s Golf Championships will span three rounds of competition over the three-day event with both a team and individual champion crowned at the end of 54 holes.
