MEAN GREEN DEBUTS: Last week in Louisiana, junior transfer Cody Winkler and freshman Simon Roessler (Santiago, Chile) made their Mean Green debuts. This week, that distinction goes to freshman Philippe Thorin, who hails from Quito, Ecuador.

STRACKE SAYS: "New Mexico always has a solid field and the golf course presents a great test," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "I know this team ready to compete."

Lenny Bergsson (Iceland), Nikhil Gopal (South Africa), Zak Karkaletsos (Spain), Vicente Marzilio (Argentina), Diego Prone (Argentina), Simon Roessler (Chile), Alvaro Roldos (Spain) and Philippe Thorin (Ecuador) round out the international players.
