The field included 16 teams including UMSL, Findlay, and Ashland, who competed against the Greyhounds at the national championship last May. Five other teams qualified for the 2024 NCAA DII East Regional.
 
Junior Ava Ray led the Hounds, finishing at T-16, completing the tournament at +13 (79-78-71) and hitting -1 in the final round. Ray secured an eagle in the final round on the fifth hole and added two birdies during the final 18 holes.
 
Freshman Lexi Stuart placed T-25 in her first collegiate tournament, shooting +16. Junior Macey Brown was two strokes behind Stuart at +18, grabbing a share of 29th place.
 
Freshman Abby Stone finished at +20 and sophomore Caroline Whallon settled at +26. Senior Ellen Caton competed as an individual at the event, shooting +29.
 
"Our first tournament showed stretches of good golf but overall not near what we're capable of as a group," said head coach Andy Serketich. "I was proud of our attitudes and fight…we will only get better from here. Quick turnaround as we are back in action this weekend down in Dallas! We are excited to head down there and compete in a very strong, national field."
