MIAMI, Fla. - Junior Kelly Calkin finished third individually with a 54-hole total of 10-over-par 226 to lead the University of Maryland to a third-place team finish Tuesday at the Pat Bradley Women's Golf Championship hosted by Florida International University.

The tournament was the first on the Spring 2007 schedule for the Terrapins. It was played at the Miccosukee Golf and Country Club.

Calkin, who was the leader after two rounds, fired a 78 on Tuesday. Florida International freshman Therese Wackenstedt fired a final-round 69, 3-under-par, to make up the ground and earn the medalist honor, finishing at 221. Amy Eneroth of Washington State placed second at 224.

Calkin's 71 in the second round on Monday and Wackenstedt's final-round 69 were the only subpar rounds in the tournament.
