PUEBLO, Colo. (October 14, 2025) – Lubbock Christian University women's golf continued its strong fall form Tuesday, finishing 13th in a competitive 21-team field at the NCAA West Region Preview, hosted by Colorado State University Pueblo at Pueblo Country Club (5,981 yards | par 71). The Lady Chaps posted rounds of 310–316 for a 36-hole total of 626 (+58) in an event that served as a preview for next spring's NCAA Division II West Regional Championship.
 
Freshman Nadalie Cannell once again led LCU, firing a 5-over 76 in the final round to close at 150 (+8) and tie for ninth place individually. Her two-day total marks her second top-10 collegiate finish of her career. Cannell excelled on the short holes all tournament, leading the entire 108-player field in par-3 scoring (2.80, -2) and ranking among the tournament leaders in pars (tied for ninth with 22).
 
Ali Escamilla carded an opening 76 followed by an 80 to finish tied for 37th at 156 (+14), while Anaya Perales, who carded a 37 on the front nine, matched Escamilla's final-round 80 to finish one shot back at 157 (+15), tied for 45th.
