NORMAN, Okla. - The No. 6 Texas women's golf team shattered the school-record 54-hole team score en route to finishing second at the Schooner Fall Classic with a 28-under-par 824 [272-272-280] on Sunday at Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Okla.
No. 3 Alabama, the 2018 NCAA runner-up, claimed the 2018 Schooner Fall Classic with an NCAA record 45-under-par 807 [272-262-273].
The Longhorns broke their previous 54-hole team total of 839 set at the 2015 Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown. Texas' 28-under-par also broke previous school record team score relative to par, which was 25-under at that same event in 2015.
Impressively, 14 of Texas' 15 rounds at the Schooner Fall Classic came at par or better, while 12 of 15 rounds were under par.

- Freshman Hailee Cooper tied for fifth with a collegiate career-best eight-under-par 205 [70-65-70], which tied for the second-best 54-hole individual total in program history. All six of her collegiate rounds have been at par or better. It marked her first collegiate top-10 finish.

HEAD COACH RYAN MURPHY
On Texas' second-place finish at the Schooner Fall Classic with a school-record 54-hole team total …
"I'm very proud of our effort this week as a team. Top to bottom, it was really solid. We would have needed something extraordinary to catch Alabama. It just wasn't in the cards for us. Our time is coming."
On top-10 finishes by freshmen Hailee Cooper and Sára Kousková …
"Individually, we had terrific showings from our freshmen Hailee and Sára. They showed us a glimpse of what they are both capable of this week. 65s and 66s are somewhat rare for freshmen. I'm very proud of both of them."
On Agathe Laisne's tie for 32nd with a collegiate-best 54-hole total …
"Agathe gave us two nice rounds after struggling in round one. She's getting stronger in every way and I expect great things from her this season."
On the play of junior Emilee Hoffman and sophomore Kaitlyn Papp …
"Emilee and Pappy both played well as usual. Neither would tell you that they are happy with their finish, which tells you where their own standards are. As their coach, I'm proud of their efforts this week and do anticipate both continuing to have chances to win tournaments this season."
