Each team will have six golfers competing in the round robin tournament. The tiebreaker will go to the team with the most individual wins.

The Gamecocks will first square off with the Longhorns on Monday. Senior Justine Fournand and graduate transfer Katherine Muzi will be off in the first group from hole one at 10:57 a.m. (ET). Carolina will then face Arizona State in the afternoon followed by a final day matchup with the Spartans on Tuesday.
