LINEUP INFORMATION
- JONES: Coming off the best finish of his career with a T-7 at the demanding Tempest Collegiate this past Tuesday, Jones will be looking to maintain his hot play. Dating back to his 2nd round at The Trinity Forest Invitational earlier this month, Jones has posted nothing worse than a +1 round – a stretch of five-consecutive rounds between 71 and 73. He enters this week with a 74.22 scoring average on the year.
 - MIYA: The New Zealand native has leapt to the top of the UTA scoring average this year at 72.33 through nine rounds. The junior will appear in his fourth-straight tournament in as many qualifying opportunities, and also boasts a team-high-tying four par-or-better rounds this year.
 - CRONJE: Also participating in his fourth tournament, Cronje has had a solid season so far with no score above 78. The South African's score has been used in every round of the past two tournaments, and he carries a 74.44 scoring average with a trio of par-or-better performances.
 - HICKS: Coming off an uncharacteristic poor showing at the Tempest Collegiate, Hicks will be looking to get back on track at a layout he's had success at previously with the aforementioned T-2 individual showing as part of a 3rd-place team finish for UTA. His 73.56 scoring average ranks 2nd on the Mavs this year.
 - GRIESSEL: Appearing in the team lineup for the second-straight week, the sophomore will be looking to improve upon a tough start to his season as he tees it up at Chenal CC for the first time.Â
The Mavs will finally have some time off after a demanding fall slate. UTA will travel to Waco for the Second Annual Bear Brawl hosted by Baylor on Halloween, Oct. 31, for just a one-day, 36-hole event to conclude the fall slate.
