WICHITA FALLS, Texas (October 22, 2024) – The University of Texas Permian Basin women's golf team concluded its Fall 2024 season at the Midwestern State Invitational, playing three rounds on Monday and Tuesday at the Wichita Falls Country Club.

Ainhoa Gurruchaga (79-79-80; 238) tied for 42nd place and Lorena Etxeberria (89-84-80; 253) tied for 63rd. Gurruchaga shot seven-over-par during both rounds one and two while both players shot eight-over during the final round.

The field of 77 golfers consisted of players from the following teams: Angelo State, Cameron, Lubbock Christian, McClennan Community College, (host) No. 23 Midwestern State, Montana State-Billings, Odessa College, (RV) Southwestern Oklahoma State, No. 6 St. Mary's, Texas A&M-Kingsville, Texas A&M International, UT Dallas, UT Permian Basin, No. 3 West Texas A&M, and Western New Mexico.

After finishing his first Fall season as the new Head Coach of the Falcons' golf program, Coach Paul Chavez said, "Yesterday was a tough day. We battled 30 mile per hour winds in the afternoon, the course played tough, and scores were higher, but we battled through it today. I think we had a great Fall season. I picked up my first win at the NCAA level, and now we have lots of confidence heading into the Spring season where we will try to make some noise."

The Falcons will look forward to the Spring season and hope to have enough athletes to compete as a team on the women's side.
