The Aggies ended the two-day event in 12^th place after posting a combined score of 927 (+75) – finishing ahead of Rutgers, Tulane, South Florida and Conference USA opponent Kennesaw State. Arkansas would take home the team title at the Dale McNamara Invitational after combining to shoot a score of 858 (+6) to win the event by 21 strokes.
 
Individually, the Aggies were led by junior Emma Bunch who extended her streak of top-ten finishes in regular season play to eight tournaments after shooting 73-71-76 to finish at 220 (+7) for the week. This week’s top-ten finish came among a field which included Power Four programs Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and BYU.
 
On the week, Bunch finished tied for fifth in average scoring on both the par 3s (3.00) and the par 5s (4.67). Additionally, Bunch was one of just four players in the 84-woman field to record an eagle during the 54-hole event.
 
NM State also received a strong showing from Marley Moncada who managed the best performance of her collegiate career to finish in a tie for 22^nd. On Tuesday, Moncada carded a 74 (+3) to advance three spots up the leaderboard while finishing with a career-best 54-hole score of 224 (+11). On the week, Moncada was tied for fifth in total birdies with 10.
 
Isa Laulhé turned in the Aggies’ third-best performance of the week as she posted a 240 (+27) to place in a tie for 65^th. Meanwhile Angela Garvin finished tied for 74^th with a score of 244 (+31) and Kaylee Chen finished 84^th with a score of 255 (+42).
