Ianello again has one of the best teams on campus

As Arizona opens its 2017-18 sports season, not much has changed at the top. The three leading teams on campus look to be Sean Miller’s basketball team, Laura Ianello’s women’s golf team and possibly Dave Rubio’s volleyball team. Ianello has a chance to win her third Pac-12 championship and advance to the final eight playoffs at the NCAA finals. She already had a Big Three returning — U.S. Amateur standouts Haley Moore, Krystal Quihuis and Gigi Stoll — and appears to have filled in the gaps with Denmark freshman Cecilie Bofill, one of Europe’s top female amateur golfers, and by getting Gonzaga transfer Bianca Pagdanganan to enroll at Arizona, eligible immediately. Pagdanganan, who is from Quezon City, Philippines, shot an NCAA-record 61 last spring while winning the Thunderbird Invitational at 14-under par.
