TUCSON, Ariz. – Following a tournament during the final weekend of February, NM State returns to action for its first competition in the month of March as they travel to Tucson to take part in the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate at the Tucson Country Club. Beginning Monday morning, the Aggies will play 54 holes across Monday and Tuesday – battling against 13 other programs.
 
The tournament will open with a 36-hole day when Central Arkansas, Abilene Christian, Long Beach State, Sacramento State, UTEP, Wyoming, George Washington, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah Valley, Arizona, Denver and Utah State tee off at 8:30 a.m. MT.
 
NM State will travel five Aggies to the Grand Canyon State, including Alvaro Morales who put together the team's top finish the last time they competed – finishing tied for 83^rd at the Lake Las Vegas Intercollegiate. Additionally, Javier Delgadillo, Anthony Lara, River Smalley and Alexandre Bauduin will swing toward the goal of helping the Aggies put together a strong week of golf. Bauduin is scheduled to be the first Aggie off the tee – going off at 9:15 a.m. MT followed by Smalley (9:24 a.m.), Lara (9:33 a.m.), Morales (9:42 a.m.) and Delgadillo (9:51 a.m.). NM State will compete alongside players from Denver and Central Arkansas.
 
This weekend marks the 12^th consecutive year that the Aggies are among the field at the tournament hosted by the University of Arizona. Among the previous 11 tournaments, the Aggies have finished in the top 10 of the team standings just twice (T7 in 2022, T5 in 2014). Last year, the Aggies finished 14^th while Aidan Thomas put together the Aggies' top individual performance - shooting even par to wrap up the event in a tie for 35^th.
