INSIDE THE LINEUP
- Murray is coming off back-to-back under-par rounds with a T-17 finish at Arkansas State's Lady Red Wolves Classic last week. The graduate student continues to lead the Mavericks with a 74.33 scoring average this year across 12 rounds.

- Garber posted a final-round 72 at last week's Lady Red Wolves Classic – her second-consecutive tournament with a final round of even-par or better – where she tabbed a season-best T-27 finish.

- Hlynsdottir is one of three Mavs who have competed in every tournament this fall. She recorded her best finish (T-11) and three-round 220 (+7) total – which placed her with the 7th-best low 54-hole total in UTA history – at the Bearkat Invitational earlier this fall.

- Tan will be making just her second appearance in the team lineup this season after competing in the season-opening USA Intercollegiate where the senior's best round so far is a 78.

- Howard currently sits with an 80.00 average over three tournaments and nine rounds this year. The senior tabbed her best round (75) at last week's Lady Red Wolves Classic.

- Ray, along with Tan, will also be making just her second outing with the Mavericks after competing in the USA Intercollegiate back in September. Across three rounds this year, the junior has a 78.00 average score with a best-round 75.

LAST TIME AT LITTLE ROCK WOMEN'S GOLF CLASSIC
This will mark the fourth time UTA has competed in the Little Rock Women's Golf Classic, with the others coming in the fall of 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Mavericks' best finish came from 2019 where the squad finished in 10th place across the 17-team field. There, former player, Kate Tran, led the team as she tied for 7^7thplace while Murray trailed closely behind with a T-12 finish after posting rounds of 74-71-74. Garber, Tan, Howard and Murray were the four members of the Mavs who competed in the Little Rock Women's Golf Classic as this will be the first time for Ray.

NEXT UP
The Little Rock Classic served as the final tournament of the fall portion of the Mavs' 2021-22 season. The team will now have three-and-a-half months off from competitive action before it next picks its clubs up to begin the spring season on Feb. 7-8 by heading to Kyle, Texas, to compete in the Texas State Invitational.
