This will be Terris' third career appearance; she earned a start at A-Ga-Ming in the first event of the season.
 
About the Course: "With scenic vistas of the northern Alabama landscape, the Highlands course has a blend of tree-lined and links-style holes. An old mule barn just off the fairway on the fifth hole is one of the more recognizable landmarks on the Trail and will punish a second shot that leaks short and right. Creeks or ponds are in play on 13 holes, including on the 16th and 17th, a strong par-3 and par-5 combo where the approach shots must be precise to avoid water lurking short and right." –GolfDigest.com
 
Last Time Out: Bellarmine tied for seventh out of 12 at the Charles Braun Jr. Intercollegiate, held at Oak Meadow Country Club in Evansville, Ind. It was the best finish for the Knights through four tournaments this season.

Last Time at Event: The Knights placed last in a field of six at last year's installment of The Robbie. They also opened their spring season at the Highlands Course and placed 10th out of 12 at the Huntsville.org Intercollegiate. Lastly, they finished the year placing 12th of 12 in the ASUN Women's Golf Championship at the course. In all, Bellarmine played nine rounds at the site during the 2024-25 season.
