ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's golf team closes the regular season on Sunday and Monday (April 5-6), traveling to College Park, Md., for the Terps Invitational. The Wolverines return to the University of Maryland Golf Course looking to defend the team title they won in 2025, when all five starters posted top-25 finishes. The two-day, 54-hole event features a 15-team field on the par-72, 6,244-yard layout.
