Tournament Field
Little Rock is one of 14 teams competing in this week's event and is one of three Sun Belt Conference schools, joined by rival Arkansas State and Georgia Southern. The tournament in Florida features nine teams ranked among the Golfstat top-200, led by No. 89 Jacksonville and No. 106 Western Kentucky. Florida Gulf Coast (No. 121), Towson (No. 135) and Arkansas State (No. 141) are all among the top-150 with Georgia Southern (No. 153), Oakland (No. 180) and Ball State (No. 189) joining Little Rock (No. 186) among the top-200.
Trojan Lineup
Little Rock's Fab Five will head back out on the course, representing the Trojans as they have nearly all season. Senior
Sabrina Bonanno continues to lead the team with a 74.67 average and six top-20 finishes on the year while junior
Lucy Owen looks to build on her bet tournament in Rio Verde two weeks ago, posting her first career top-20 showing.

Last Time Out
The Trojans are hoping to carry the momentum seized from their last event as Little Rock looks to make another run. The Trojans finished sixth among 17 teams at the Rio Verde Invitational February 23-25 in Arizona, including leading the field after the opening 18 holes. Senior
Sabrina Bonanno registered her sixth top-20 finish in seven events this year, tying for 11th overall at 9-over 225. She finished three shots better than junior
Lucy Owen, who set a personal-best at 12-over 228 and logged her first career top-20 finish, tying for 19th overall.
Where Are We Again?
When the Trojans tee off Monday morning, it will mark their eighth different tournament in as many states on the year as Little Rock has competed in all four time zones in the continental United State. The Trojans have teed off this year in Utah, Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Arizona, sending the team over 12,000 miles already this season. Little Rock's final three tournaments of the season will be return trips to Arkansas, Missouri and Florida.
Looking Ahead
Following this week's trip to Florida, Little Rock will stay close to home as the Trojans will host their second tournament of the year, teaming up with Arkansas State for the Little Rock/A-State Invitational March 26 and 27. The event will be held at Maumelle Country Club in Maumelle as 11 teams will compete for the tournament title.
