Power programs Iowa and Washington State are also in the field. Others include Butler, Belmont, Tennessee State, Western Michigan, Eastern Washington, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton, Morehead State, Longwood and Houston Christian.

THE COURSE: The Nashville Invitational will take place at the President's Reserve Golf Course, which plays up to 7,200 yards, and was designed by Denis Griffiths. Griffiths is also the designer of Atlanta's Chateau Elan Golf Course which was the home of the ASUN Women's Golf Championship from 2017-19.  Winding through over 300 acres of natural Tennessee wetlands along the Cumberland River, the President's Reserve is recognized by Golf Digest Magazine as one of the top 10 courses in Tennessee.
 
THE LINEUP: UNA will carry six golfers this week with five starters and redshirt sophomore Kerigan Klauber as an individual. Three freshman will play atop the order in Elsa Maren Steinarsdottir, Sirichaya Chanpen and Olivia Whittle. Seniors Jahnavi Prakhya and Hannah Dees will follow.
 
LAST TIME OUT: The Lions finished sixth place of 10 teams at the Bama Beach Bash in Gulf Shores last week. Though the Lions did not move up or down on the final day, the program had two of the only four eagles hit in the tournament. Chanpen was the highlight of the final round, moving up 11 spots to finish 22nd at 17-over 233. The Thailand native recorded an eagle on hole 14 and added birdies on holes 7, 9 and 18 to card a 74 for the round.
