She was named So-Con Golfer of the Week following a 6-under 210 at the Westbrook Invite with 12 birdies. The Spain native logged two top five finishes with third at the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate and fourth at the SoCon Championships. As a freshman in 2023-24, Fernandez-Tagle started in all 11 appearances to log a team-best 72.76 scoring average and counting for 32 of 33 team scores. She registered six top 10 finishes and was a WGCA All-American Scholar.
