The sophomore guided the Mustangs to a second-place finish in a field that featured seven of the top-50 teams in the nation. Jade Scott earned medalist honors at the David Toms Intercollegiate and led the Rice men's team to a share of fifth place in a field that featured eight of the top-100 schools in the nation.

UCF highlighted the women's golf action this past week, registering a third-place finish at the FIU/Pat Bradley Invitational behind the efforts of Valentina Fontaine.
