The SMU women's golf team finished 33-under to win the Chevron Collegiate at Golf Club of Houston, the Tournament Course, in Humble, Tex. The Mustangs finished four shots ahead of Maryland, who finished in solo second place at 29-under. The Tournament Course is home to the PGA Tour's Houston Open.
SMU's tournament was marked with consistency, shooting rounds of 278-275-278 to get to 33-under. They were the only team to break 280 in all three rounds.
The 33-under was the second-lowest 54-hole score in program history.

The win marked the Mustangs second of the season after a victory in the fall at the Jim West Challenge. The Mustangs have won eight tournaments over the last two seasons under head coach Lauren Mason, who is in her third year.
Texas A&M finished in solo third place at 24-under, Texas State finished in solo fourth place at 17-under, and Texas Tech finished in solo fifth place at 16-under.
