LAWRENCE, Kan. — Tarleton State Women's Golf finished 11th  Marilynn Smith Invitational hosted by the University of Kansas at Lawrence Country Club on Monday and Tuesday.

Among a field of multiple 2025 NCAA Regional squads, the Texans finished 11th of 14th squads. The Texans best round as a team came in the first round shooting a 15 over-par, 299. The crew battled the weather conditions the entire day and had play suspended near the end of the second round leaving a few holes to play on Tuesday morning before the third round.

"It was a tough week as a team out here at Lawrence CC, as we are battling through some injuries and the tough conditions did not help," said head coach Isabel Jimenez. "As a couple positives, Lou Deltombe, had our best individual finish with 3 similar rounds throughout the tournament, our freshman, added one more under par round to her Texan resume, yesterday during the first round. We are leaving this tournament behind and looking forward to the next one."

Deltombe was consistent shooting a 75 in the first round followed by a pair of 76's in the final two rounds. The senior tied for the second most pars across the 54 holes, registering 39 par scores. Gina Chen opened on fire and was tied for second among the entire field after the first round shooting a one-under par, 70.
