Freshman Caney Hines was the top finisher for the Longhorns at 44th place with a three round total of 15-over par 231. She opened the tournament with a career-first and low round of 74, but struggled with rounds of 76 and 81 to finish the tournament on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Fellow rookie Kristin Walla was also impressive in her debut for the burnt orange and white, carding a final round six-over par 78, the second lowest round for the team on Sunday. Her first two rounds she shot back-to-back 77s, and moved up from 52nd place on the final day to tie for 46th in her first collegiate competition.
