Hlynsdottir

Hlynsdottir is coming off a T-28 finish at the Texas State Invitational back in early February where the junior posted rounds of 80-78-73. Hlynsdottir leads the Mavericks with an average score of 74.94 across 18 rounds so far this year.

Murray

The graduate student has competed in every single tournament this year for the Mavericks, along with teammate Hlynsdottir. Murray has three under-par rounds to her name so far this season with two top-20 finishes – coming from Sam Houston's Bearkat Invitational and Arkansas State's Lady Red Wolves Classic.

Howard

This will mark Howard's first outing of the spring with UTA as the senior competed in four tournaments in the fall. Howard's best finish so far this year came from the Little Rock Golf Classic where she tied for 59th place. She looks to improve her average score this spring as she sits on an 80.25.

Garber

Garber tied for 56th at the Texas State Invitational while her best finish this season came from the Aggie Invitational back in October of 2021. There, she posted a final-round 71 - her only under-par round of the year so far.

Ray

Joining Howard, Ray will be making her first appearance in UTA's lineup this spring after playing in just two tournaments in the fall. Back in September, the junior recorded her best round (75) of the year at South Alabama's Intercollegiate.

NEXT UP
The Mavericks will take a three week break from competition before competing in Houston Baptist's Husky Invitational that is set for March 14-15 from Riverbend Country Club in Sugar Land, Texas.
