UT Arlington Mavs Blog


Incoming UTA freshman golfer Ava Schwienteck turned in scores of 72-70 for a 2-under par 142 to claim medalist honors at the Flodder Financial Shootout at Meadowbrook Farms Golf Course in Katy, Texas.  The tournament marked the final Legends Junior Tour event of her career.
The Magnolia, Texas native registered five birdies in yesterday's first round to overcome a double-bogey and three bogeys within a six hole span to score and even par 72.  Her three birdies and an eagle on the par 5 No. 12 helped put her at 2-under for the day and handed her a 2-stroke lead over Christine Wang of Houston.




Schwienteck is one of four incoming freshman who will join junior Rachel Phillips and redshirt freshman Allison Wade on the inaugural UTA women's golf team this fall.  Click here for a team schedule of events.
