Notes
- The best team finish in the event is fifth in 2016. Current Ladies European Tour pro Dorota Zalewska '23 owns the top individual ending tying for runner-up honors in 2022 with a 7-under 209.
- Stevenazzi won the 2024 Uruguay National Stroke Play Championship and was runner-up in the National Match Play event.
- Fernandez-Tagle's T15 in New Mexico was her 9th collegiate top 15 finish in a row. She also finished in the top 15 (13th) representing Spain in the World University Golf Championships August 27-30 in Finland.
- Cooper has two career wins - 2023 Evie Odom Invite (-7, 203) & 2024 Chris Banister Invite (+2, 218). She'll have a chance to defend medalist honors at the Evie Odom. Three Mocs have won three or more times: Emma de Groot '11 (6), Zalewska (4) & Emily McLennan '16 (3).
- Healey has fond memories of the par 3 fifth hole on the north side. She tallied a hole-in-one on the 142-yard hole as a freshman in the second round of the 2022 edition.
- This year's Mason Rudolph field includes two squads that reached Match Play in the NCAA Championships: Texas A&M and Clemson. Seven others – Arizona State, Baylor, Mississippi State, Northwestern, South Carolina, Texas & Vanderbilt – reached the NCAA Championships finals.
