The Cowgirls will enter the final tournament of their fall schedule coming off of an idle week having extra time to prepare for the trip out west. Last time out Jadan Gonzalez led Wyoming at the Denver Ron Moore Intercollegiate finishing tied for 44^th and finishing as the top Cowgirl.

Joining Gonzalez in the Cowgirl lineup will be Kyla Wilde, Samantha Hui, Rachel Stoinski, Jadan Gonzalez and Morgan Ryan. Sophie Spiva and Jessica Zapf will be in action playing as individuals.

The Cowgirls will be up against a familiar field in Hawaii as they have already played against 10 of the 11 opposing teams in the field. These teams include Mountain West foes Colorado State and Fresno State who the Cowgirls have faced at multiple tournaments this year.

Host school Hawaii will be a team to watch as well coming off of a strong 2021-22 season in which they tied for first at the Big West Conference Championship. So far, this season the Cowgirls have played against Hawaii twice finishing ahead of the at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Collegiate Invitational and coming in just behind them at the Denver Ron Moore Intercollegiate.
