Tulane returns to action for the second this spring. The Green Wave opened their spring campaign at the UCF Challenge where they posted a three-round score of 884. Tulane's tournament total of 884 was its second-best score of the year. The Green Wave's best finish of the year came at the University of South Alabama Intercollegiate (Sept. 15-17) where they placed fourth, closing with a three-round total of 871.

Senior Laura Munoz enters this week's tournament as the Green Wave's top individual where she posted an average of 74.66 in five tournaments. Sophomore Jennifer Rosenberg leads the team with four rounds under par this year. Her opening round 68 at the UCF Challenge is the team's lowest round of the year.

The Green Wave will matchup against one of the nation's top field that include: USC (1), Texas (2), Florida (3), Duke (4), Arizona State (8), Auburn (11), South Carolina (17), Washington (19), Miami (27), Michigan State (30), North Carolina (32), UC Davis (40), NC State (45), Houston (46), SMU (49), LSU (57) and Oklahoma State (74).

Throughout the offseason and into the preseason, Don has been pleased with the team's progression and has high expectations for the team, which features a strong balance of youth and experience.

Seven different conferences are represented among this year's slate of competitors, including each Power 6 conference. The 18 teams have combined to win 21 national championships.
