The UTRGV Vaqueros women's golf team is heading to Nashville, Tennessee, to compete in the Nashville Invitational, their first out-of-state tournament of the spring season. The tournament, hosted by Lipscomb University, consists of 36 holes played on Monday and 18 holes on Tuesday, starting with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. The course, Hermitage Golf Course, is 6,259 yards long with a par of 72. UTRGV aims to improve upon their eighth-place finish at the Riverbend Intercollegiate, where they scored 909 in total.

By the Numbers
  • UTRGV scored 909 (292, 310, 307) at the Riverbend Intercollegiate.
  • Preston Saiz tied for 10th place with a score of 220, including a round of 68.
Yes, But

The team did not participate in last year's Nashville Invitational, which makes it challenging to gauge their current competitiveness against returning participants.

State of Play
  • UTRGV women's golf is preparing for their first out-of-state tournament of the spring.
  • The team is looking to build on their recent performances and improve their standings in the upcoming matches.
What's Next

Following the Nashville Invitational, UTRGV will compete in the ULM Invitational on March 30-31 and the SLC Championships on April 13-15, which will be pivotal for their season standings.

Bottom Line

UTRGV needs to leverage their experience from the Riverbend Intercollegiate to gain momentum in Nashville, with an eye on showcasing improvement ahead of critical upcoming tournaments.
