LAS VEGAS – The University of Houston Women's Golf program heads west for a pair of tournaments, starting with the Lady Luck Invitational at Las Vegas Country Club on Monday morning.

Schools will play 36 holes with a 10:30 a.m. (CST) shotgun start Monday with the Final Round teeing off Tuesday morning.

Senior Moa Svedenskiöld closed that tournament with a career-low-tying 66 to surge into a tie for fourth and earn her team-leading third straight Top-10 finish.

Junior Maelynn Kim added a 69 in her Final Round and joined Svedenskiöld in the Top 10 with a score of 4-under 212.
