AGGIE LINEUP
The Aggies' travel squad will be made up of Ethan Klose, Aidan Thomas, Alexandre Bauduin, Mateo Payan and Javier Delgadillo. This will be the same five Aggies that competed in each of the Aggies' first four spring tournaments and have helped the Aggies tally three top-3 finishes as a team.
 
Most recently, the Aggies competed at the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate where they were led by senior Ethan Klose. Klose submitted his second top-10 finish in his last three starts as he placed tied for sixth after shooting one-under for the week. Alexandre Bauduin also placed inside the top 20 as he shot four-over to secure a tie for 17^th. Klose and Bauduin would help the Aggies clinch a 5^th place finish among a deep field in Arizona.
