Quotable
"We'll miss Erin again this week, but she should be back for conference. This gives us one final opportunity to fine tune some things we've been focusing on before the postseason. It's great to get to do it in competition." –

Breakdown
- The Mocs are playing with four again this week due to an injury to freshman Erin Wells. She is hopeful to return in time for the SoCon Championships later this month.
- First time playing in an event at Purdue. The closest the Mocs have come to West Lafayette in competition was the 2011 East Regionals at Warren Golf Course in South Bend, Ind. There is a 113-mile distance between the two facilities.
- The event was not originally on the schedule. Coach Woodruff was able to add it over the winter break when competition dates opened up.
- The field includes seven teams ranked in Clippd's top 100 including the Mocs at 99. The host Boilermakers are the top-ranked squad at No. 48.
- Healey is the sixth Mocs golfer to reach 250 career birdies. She currently has 255 which is just 10 behind Esme Hamilton '22 in fifth (265).
- Cooper is tied for the fourth-most career cards in the 60s with six (Monica San Juan '19 & LET pro Esme Hamilton '22).
- Monday's final round is also an 9 a.m., shotgun start. Hole location and pairing to be determined by 36-hole scoring.
