The Mean Green are ranked No. 60 in the latest GolfStat poll.

RESULTS: Live results will be posted on GolfStat.com. Full recaps from each day of competition will be posted on MeanGreenSports.com at the end of each round.

LAST TIME OUT: North Texas battled a field loaded with six top-50 teams, highlighted by No. 7 Auburn, and finished the two-day Hayt Invitational in 11th place, while Ian Snyman tied for 20th individually at 1-over par.

STRACKE SAYS: "We are excited to play at the Aggie Invitational. This week is a great opportunity to move up the rankings for an NCAA at-large bid," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "Our competitive schedule gives our athletes the best opportunity to achieve All-American status and success after they leave school."

UP NEXT: North Texas will compete for the Conference USA championship at the conference tournament in Texarkana, Arkansas, on April 22-25.

HOME SWEET MARIDOE: North Texas has enjoyed its first year in its new home at the Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton. The course opened to members in July and gives the Mean Green a state-of-the-art home course with world-class facilities, including a fully-dedicated practice facility, complete with a two-ended driving range to account for many varying wind conditions, a sprawling three-acre short game retreat and indoor facilities with state-of-the-art hitting bays that provide tools the program has not yet had at its disposal.
