Head coach
Isabel Jimenez will be taking the same five to Arkansas that she used in Texan Match Play.
Sofia Rodriguez,
Lou Deltombe,
Mathilde Brogens,
Elle Fox and
Rebecca Fernandez will look to improve on last year's eighth place finish at the event. All but newcomer Deltombe played the course a year ago.
Last time out, the Texans hosted Texan Match Play at Squaw Valley Golf Course, their first home event during the program's Division I era. Jimenez's squad swept Texas Southern in the first round, 5-0. The Texans then knocked off Stephen F. Austin, 3-1-1 to claim the first annual Texan Match Play championship. Rodriguez, Deltombe and Brogens each earned wins in both two rounds.
Last year at the Little Rock women's classic, the Texans finished eighth of 16 participating teams. Georgia State won the team title and ULM was the runner up. Fox turned in her best finish of her 2022-23 campaign, tying for third. She shot a one-under par, 215. Fernandez earned a top-20 finish as well carding a five-over, 222.
Tarleton State will close out its fall schedule with a trip to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to compete in The Judson 2023. Southern Mississippi is hosting the invite set to tee off from Hattiesburg CC on Monday October 30, with the final round being played on Halloween Tuesday, October 31.
