COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho – The Western Washington University women's golf team wrapped up play at the 2026 GNAC Golf Championships placing third out of six teams in the three-day, 54-hole tournament held at Coeur d'Alene Golf Resort.

 

The Vikings slipped one spot on the leaderboard in the final round, batting tough final round conditions with temperatures in the low 40s and steady rain and wind. WWU finished at 80-over-par 944, six strokes back of second place Seattle Pacific. Simon Fraser ran away with its fourth consecutive GNAC team title cruising to a 25-stroke victory.

Freshman Carly Ikei earned a top 10 finish placing 9th at 17-over-par 233 with rounds of 78-74-81, with her final round score of 9-over-par 81 the low for the team.
