COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - New Mexico sophomore Kailin Downs was named Mountain West Conference Women's Golfer of the Month after leading the Lobos to a sixth place finish at the Ping/Arizona State Invitational in Tempe, Ariz., April 4-6, a field that included nine of the top 25 teams in the country.
