Matador notes:
CSUN’s lineup in Stockton will include freshman Tomas Helgo, senior Tomas Skajem, freshman Paul-Louis Gachet, junior Michael Zhang and sophomore Gabriel Barnes. Senior Luis Calderon will also be in the field, competing individually.

At the event a year ago, senior Felix Mory finished 30th at one-under 215 while the Matadors finished 17th (+22, 886) as a team. Zhang finished tied for 47th at the event last year, the low result for a returning CSUN player.

Helgo heads into the event with a team-leading 73.3 scoring average. The freshman from Stavanger, Norway has been the low Matador at each of the last two tournaments, finishing 12th at the Nick Watney invitational and 17th at the Bill Cullum Invitational. Gachet, who is second on the team averaging 73.9 strokes per round, was the low CSUN player at the season-opening Mark Simpson CU Invitational in Colorado.

The Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational is the last of four fall tournaments for the Matadors. CSUN has a pair of seventh-place finishes this season, including its last outing (Oct. 15-16). Just over a week ago, at the Matador-hosted Bill Cullum Invitational at Wood Ranch Golf Club in Simi Valley, CSUN finished seventh at (+16) 880. The Matadors’ low team tournament score (+7, 871) came at Fresno State’s Nick Watney Invitational (Oct. 1-2) where the Matadors also finished seventh.
