Lady Vols close out the fall schedule in Dallas where they finished in the top three last season
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The University of Tennessee women's golf team closes out the fall schedule in Dallas, Texas at the SMU Trinity Forest Invitational.
The field features 12 teams including seven who were ranked in the initial top 60 by Golfstat. This includes the Lady Vols who came in at No. 44.
Freshmen Malia Stovall and Mikayla Bardwell remain in the top three in the lineup as both have proved key throughout the fall schedule. In a combined 18 rounds for the team, the freshmen duo have had all of their rounds count for the team.
Bardwell, who will start the tournament in the No. 1 spot for the Lady Vols, is coming off her third consecutive top-10 finish at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational in San Antonio. She was the top finisher, tying for eighth.
Stovall, who is in the No. 3 spot this week, has two consecutive top-10 finishes, placing just behind Bardwell at the Maryb. S. Kauth in a tie for 10th.
Last season, Tennessee finished third in the SMU Trinity Forest Invitational with three players placing inside of the top-25 on the individual leaderboard.
Tomorrow's first round is scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. (ET) with the Lady Vols paired with Illinois and Oregon State for the first and second round.
