WOLCOTT, Colo. --- The Texas A&M women's golf team moved up one spot in the final round to finish 11th at the Golfweek Conference Challenge at the Fazio Course at Red Sky Golf Club on Tuesday.
The Aggies finished with a three-round total of 932 and trailed Virginia, Arizona, Tulane, UC Davis, Tennessee, UNLV, Denver, Minnesota, Pepperdine and Chattanooga. Rounding out the complete standings were San Jose State, Harvard, Missouri State, Coastal Carolina, Campbell, Sacramento State and Central Arkansas.
“We may have a bigger learning curve than expected this year,” Aggie coach Trelle McCombs said. “We are looking at these early-season tournaments just as that. We will continue to work hard and get ready for our next tournament.”

“Katerina played really solid all day long,” McCombs said. “She looked like the player we recruited - just all-around solid.”
