STEPHENVILLE, Texas – The Texans have signed a highly ranked French golfer who played last season at Menlo College, Tarleton's Women's Golf announced Monday.
 
Lou Deltombe joins Tarleton for 2023-24 after playing one season with the Oaks in the Golden State Athletic Conference.
 
Her best performance came at the Claremont Challenge in San Dimas, California, where she shot +6 for ninth place, leading off with a career-best round of even-par (72).
 
"Lou brings a lot of depth and experience into our lineup," head coach Isabel Jimenez said. "During her junior career she competed in great events all across France, both team and individual formats, which has prepared her for collegiate competition. What most attracted me to Lou is her competitive character and her clear goals. She comes to Tarleton with the goal of becoming the best golfer she can be, while helping her team succeed in the WAC and beyond.
 
"Lou is also a great student, something I highly value during the recruiting process," Jimenez added. "I have no doubt she will help our team in progressing both on and off the course."
 
Deltombe hails from La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, France, where she attended Le Pôle Erdre et Cens.
 
Before leaving France for the United States, Deltombe was ranked No. 69 in the country as an individual.
 
Deltombe will pursue a degree in business analytics upon arrival at Tarleton State University.
