The University of Northern Iowa men's and women's golf teams will tee off their fall season on Sept. 1-2 at the University of Nebraska-Omaha Invitational at Arbor Links Golf Course in Nebraska City, Nebraska.

Seniors Paige Van Dyk and Maddie Bertsch will lead the charge for the women's team. Van Dyk ranked second on the squad last year in stroke average with a 79.46, and was UNI's top finisher in three events. Bertsch recorded a season best finish of 11th three times, and shot her best round of 71 during the second round of the Bradley Spring Invitational.

Teeing off on the men's side is first-team all-MVC senior Sam DeBartolo. DeBartolo led the pace for the Panthers in this event last year, shooting rounds of 69, 78, and 73 which earned him a seventh-place finish. DeBartolo was UNI's top finisher in four of nine events last year, most notably scoring a third-place finish in the MVC Championship.

The event will tee off at 8 a.m. both days, with both course layouts for men's and women's being a par-72.
