MEMPHIS - Fresh off its third victory of the season last week in the Lady Eagle Invitational, the University of Memphis women's golf is set for its toughest test of the season at the Rebel Intercollegiate April 1-3.

Hosted by Ole Miss, the 2011 Rebel Intercollegiate is 54-hole event held at the par-72, 6,351-yard Ole Miss Golf Course and boasts a strong, 18-team field: Coastal Carolina, East Tennessee State, Kansas, Maryland, Memphis, Michigan, Mississippi State, Missouri, Murray State, Ole Miss, Rollins, SMU, South Florida, Tennessee, Tulane, Tulsa and UCF.

"This is the strongest field we've faced this season," Memphis head coach Beth Harrelson said. "The team is playing really well, so this tournament should be a good test."
