ABOUT THE COUGARS
Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell recently unveiled the team's starting lineup for this week's tournament. Sophomore Megan Thothong, freshman Leonie Harm, junior Emily Gilbreth, sophomore Yuka Kajiki and Bremer will represent the Cougars.
For Friday's First Round, the Cougar will compete in threesomes with student-athletes from Furman and Texas A&M off No. 1. Bremer will start the day at 10:45 a.m. (CDT) with Kajiki (10:54 a.m. CDT), Gilbreth (11:03 a.m. CDT), Harm (11:12 a.m. CDT) and Thothong (11:21 a.m. CDT) following. Complete First-Round pairings can be found here.
This season, Thothong leads the Cougars with a 74.25 scoring average and nine rounds of par or better. The Dallas native successfully defended her individual title at the UNF Collegiate earlier this month and has recorded five top-20 finishes in eight tournaments.
Harm joined the team at the semester break. The Gerlingen, Germany, native tied for 20th at the LSU Tiger Classic in her most recent competition.
Gilbreth has competed in all eight tournaments to date and stands second among the Cougars with six rounds of par or better. The Bellaire High product shared the individual title with Thothong at the UNF Collegiate earlier this month for the first title of her collegiate career and has posted four top-20 finishes this year.
