MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho Vandal women’s golf team will play in the 29th Rainbow Wahine Invitational at the Ocean Course at Hokuala in Līhu’e, Kaua’I, Monday through Wednesday. The tournament had moved to the island of Kaua’i after spending the past 25 years on O’ahu.
The Vandals return to the Invitational for the first time since 2021 when they finished third.
