In the Polls
· OSU is ranked 28^th nationally. The tournament is the most stacked field the Cowgirls have seen this year, with every team in the top 50 and five among the top 10, including No. 1 Stanford.

· The new rankings system is compiled through Scoreboard by Clippd. The rankings are powered by a points system that accounts for course difficulty, field depth and numerous other factors.

· The Pokes were runners-up at last fall's Dale McNamara Invitational and the FAU Paradise Invitational earlier this spring.

· At the Jackson T. Stephens Cup, OSU claimed a tie for fourth in a field with only teams ranked in the top 30. The Cowgirls followed with a fifth-place finish at the Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate Challenge, also in Fort Worth, to close out the fall.

The Lineup
· This week's lineup features a blend of veterans and newcomers. Two freshmen will compete with the orange and black, while the top half of the lineup boasts a combined eight-years of collegiate golf experience.

· Veteran Grace Kilcrease has posted six top 10 finishes this season, highlighted by a first-place showing at last fall's Carmel Cup. She has the team's lowest stroke average at 71.52, helped by six rounds in the 60s.

· Sophomore Marta Silchenko sat out the fall season due to injury but placed third in her season debut at last month's Texas State Invitational and followed it up with a tie for 30^th at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational.

· Ellie Bushnell has had the strongest start to the spring campaign for the Cowgirls with back-to-back ties for 13^th at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational and the FAU Paradise Invitational. She has been in the lineup for every tournament this season and posted top-20 finishes in six of the eight events.

· Freshman Summer Lee is looking to build off on an individual win at the Texas State Invitational – the first by an OSU freshman since 2020.

· Fellow freshman Tarapath Panaya is making her sixth start of the season. Panya opened her collegiate career with a tie for seventh at the Dale McNamara Invitational last fall.
