CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- The fall golf season rolls on for the UNI men's and women's golf teams as both programs gear up for its second tournament of the month starting Monday morning.

Golfers will tee off at 8:30 a.m. CT on Monday for a 36-hole shotgun at the par-72, 7,525-yard Colbert Hills Country Club, followed by the third and final round on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. CT.

In his previous outing, JD Pollard led the Panther men at the Derek Dolenc Invitational in a three-way for 15th place shooting a total of 210 (-3). Nile Petersen tied for 25th place with a score of 215 (+2), while Calen Bishop shot a 223 (+10) in his collegiate debut.
On the women's side, the Panthers will head south to western Kentucky to compete in The Velvet, hosted by Murray State University at the Country Club of Paducah. The par-71, 6,076-yard course will feature an 8:30 a.m. CT shotgun start with 36 holes played on Monday, followed by the final round on Tuesday beginning at 8:30 a.m. CT.
