THE WOODLANDS, Texas – The North Texas women's golf team wrapped up play at the ICON Invitational on Tuesday at The Woodlands Country Club by shooting a 1-under-par 287 for the second straight round and finishing in sixth place out of 14 teams at 9-over par.
The Mean Green were led by freshman Emilie Ricaud and senior Lauren Cox, who finished tied for 15th at 2-over par for the tournament. Sophomore Audrey Tan finished tied for 20th at 3-over, and sophomore Katie Finley tied for 35th at 5-over par.
North Texas climbed a spot on the leaderboard after sitting in seventh entering the final round of play. The Mean Green, who entered the tournament ranked 57th in the GolfStat national poll, topped No. 20 Virginia Tech, No. 23 Texas Tech and No. 32 Houston and set themselves up to move up in the rankings when this week's poll is released.
"We had a solid final round today and picked up some quality wins," UNT head coach Michael Akers said. "It is a very good sign we are getting production throughout the lineup. Getting Emilie playing up to her potential is huge for us. We will begin preparing for Utah and the differences we will see there."
