UC's top finisher for the tournament was individual competitor senior Daniela Murcia (Bogotá, Colombia) who was consistent all weekend and wrapped the tournament with a third-round 74 to finish in a tie for 19th.
Junior Angela Lopez (Bogotá, Colombia) bounced back from a score of 80 during Saturday's second round with a 75 today, featuring an even-par back nine holes. Freshmen Paighton Masterson (Avon Lake, Ohio/Avon Lake) and Natalia Sompolvorachai (Columbus, Ohio/Olentangy Orange) stayed consistent on Sunday with scores of 77 and 78, respectively, and combined for two birdie scores. Senior Alyssa Burritt (Bellbrook, Ohio/Bellbrook) shot a 77 to bring her three-day total to 233.
