Rodgers is set to compete in another MAC Championship after coming off a hot spring season. Rodgers has competed in every tournament for the Bobcats this season, including being the top finisher at the Golfweek/Stifel Spring Challenge.

Treherne looks to compete at the MAC Championships for the first time in her career, after coming off a strong rookie season. Treherne looks to have an impressive outing in her first conference championships, after finishing with her highest finish of T66 at the Georgia State Invitational.
