Q&A: The path Nicole "Coco" Kolbas took to a record-setting round for the Wolf Pack
Nicole "Coco" Kolbas' record-breaking round for the Nevada women's golf team started in dubious fashion. The Wolf Pack senior opened the final round of the Connell Resources Ram Classic earlier this month by shooting 2-over par on her first four holes. But a mental reset (and 96-foot birdie putt) got her back on track, triggering a 9-under stretch over the next nine holes. Kolbas finished the round at 7-under 65, tying ex-Nevada stars Leah John and Victoria Gailey for the best score in program history. Kolbas finished that tournament tied for second, marking best result of her college career. For her strong start to the season, Kolbas is our Wolf Pack Athlete of the Month for September. You can watch our video interview with Kolbas at the top of this page or read the Q&A underneath that. This feature is presented in partnership with Champion Chevrolet.
