ULM won the event a season ago, with GCU's Lani Luafalealo taking medalist after winning a three-way playoff.
The Thunderbirds
With a slight tweak to the lineup from the opening tournament, Tanyatorn Excel Thalangkarn will play as the No. 1, coming off a T3 finish at the Trailblazer Invitational.
Tijana Jovicevic Kovacic will hold down the No. 2 spot after she finished 10th at the Trailblazer Invitational.
Anais Guibal showed that she could string together a lot of birdies but needs to be more consistent and not compound her mistakes; she will be third in the lineup.
Ellie Olsen will be fourth in the lineup for the Thunderbirds, a slight equipment change from the first tournament, and she will be looking to add some consistency to the Thunderbird lineup.
Cornelia Karlsson had one of her best tournaments for SUU, struggled scoring, but avoided big numbers, and she will be in the fifth spot for SUU.
Reece Bandemer will be competing as an individual again; if she can put together three quality rounds, she could definitely find herself in the lineup soon.
