FORT WORTH – Emmily Bickelmann saved her best for last at the Texas Wesleyan Spring Invitational for the UHV women's golf team.

The reigning Red River Athletic Conference Women's Golfer of the Week shot a season-best round of 74 to go 77-83-74—234 and finish T-9 at Squaw Creek Golf Course.

Bickelmann, a senior from Weisbaden, Germany, had four birdies and only three holes worse than bogey in the 54-hole tournament. It's her sixth Top 10 finish this season.

Freshman Madeline Pate made a strong improvement over the three rounds to go 87-83-75—245 to finish 19^th. Pate had a team-leading three birdies in the final round and was one shot from tying her career-best round at UHV.

Thanks to a 16-shot improvement, the Jaguars finished fifth as a team after shooting 338-338-322—998.

Evelyn Nguyen finished 26^th (86-89-85—260), Kaitlin Lopez was 28^th (88-87-89—264) and Remme Trujillo was 30^th (97-85-88—270).
