BROKEN ARROW, Okla. - UT Arlington's Heidrun Hlynsdottir led the Mavericks to their best finish this season of 4th place in Tuesday's final round at the ORU Spring Invitational.

The junior tabbed rounds of 75-71-75 which aided to the team's 54-hole total of 915 – tied for the 12-best in UTA program history. Hlynsdottir's other top-10 performance came from the Little Rock Golf Classic back in October of 2021 where she tied for 6th.

Hlyndsottir

The junior produced an even 36 on the back side – along with fellow teammate Connor Howard – that placed her in a good spot heading into her final two holes. Back-to-back bogeys on 3 and 4 put her card 3-over as she completed the round of 75.

Garber

• Garber began her day on hole 7 as her final-78 featured nothing higher than a bogey, The graduate student carded five bogeys and 13 pars throughout her round as she was the lone Mav who did not roll a single birdie.

Howard

• Howard opened her round on with a bogey on 8 as she played in even through the first nine. A trio of triples that came on 17, 2 and 5 were costly as they derailed the senior's momentum. Howard went on to cap the round of 78 with birdies coming on 10, 14 and 18.
