COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The No. 3 Texas A&M women’s golf team is set to open its spring slate at the UCF Challenge Feb. 5-7 at the par-72, 6,379-yard Eagle Creek Golf Club.

The Aggies had a stellar fall season where they finished runner-up at the prestigious Carmel Cup and won the “Mo” Morial Invitational and the stroke play championship of the East Lake Cup. Second-year head coach Gerrod Chadwell is bringing Hailee Cooper, Adela Cernousek, Blanca Fernández García-Poggio, Jennie Park and Zoe Slaughter to the event, the same lineup that took A&M to the NCAA semifinal last season.

Park leads the team with a 71.60 stroke average and has placed in the top 15 in six-consecutive events, dating back to last year’s NCAA Regional. Cooper is second on the team in stroke average, boasting a 72.80 mark and had four top-20 performances during the fall.

The team tees off the first round at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday and is up against an 18-team field that includes Wake Forest (No. 2) and Mississippi State (No. 9) who are also in the top 10.
