Notes:

Texas Tech will serve as the host for this year's NEXUS Collegiate in New Providence, Bahamas.
The 2023 edition of the NEXUS Collegiate was hosted by Auburn; the first such event of its kind.
The 18-hole championship course plays host to the Hero World Challenge every year, a PGA Tour event inviting the world's best professional golfers to compete at Albany GC.
This will be the Red Raiders' first time competing in the NEXUS Collegiate.
All 11 teams competing at the NEXUS Collegiate are ranked inside the SCOREBOARD Top 100, which includes No. 58 Texas Tech; the top-ranked team is No. 28 Mississippi State.
This event will mark Texas Tech's second event of the 2024 spring season after opening the spring season less than two weeks ago at the UCF Challenge, Feb. 4-6.
Last time out, sophomore Lauren Zaretsky claimed her first individual win of her college career over the field of 96 players. Zaretsky fired a 4-under-par 68 in round three to finish the tournament at a dominant 13-under-par (203).
