ARLINGTON, Texas – The UT Arlington women's golf team capped an exciting two-day Maverick Classic as the four-player lineup registered a 3rd-place team Tuesday from Tierra Verde Golf Club.

As a team, the Mavericks logged a total of seven rounds of par or better across the course of the tournament, including a top-15 individual finish from each player.
 
Junior Nitisha Manikandesh paced UTA's lineup as she tied for 8th place after turning in rounds of 73-70-72. The Plano native picked up right where she left off from the 2024 spring season as this week's performance marked the third-straight top-10 outing while the previous two came from the ORU Spring Invitational (4/8-9/24) and the Western Athletic Championship (4/19-21/24).

• Manikandesh turned in a final-round 72 as her round featured a pair of bogeys, 14 pars and two birdies which came on holes 3 and 17. The junior produced a 35 (-1) on the back nine which proved to be the best among the UTA lineup.

Bhoga

• The freshman opened the round with four consecutive pars (18-3) before rolling her first birdie of the round on hole 4. Despite a bogey on 5, Bhoga was able to get her card back down to -1 courtesy of a birdie on 6. Even with three-straight bogeys on 10, 11 and 12, the freshman settled down by birdieing two of the final six holes for a final-round 72.

Gabel

• The junior got off to an unbelievable start, rolling three birdies and six pars which led to a -3 opening-nine. A double and two bogeys on the back side set her back just a tad, ultimately ending tournament action with round of 73.
