OXFORD, Miss. - Jessica Hollandsworth shot a third-round 77 to tie for 12th place Sunday and the University of Maryland women's golf team finished in eighth at the Rebel Intercollegiate, hosted by Ole Miss.

Hollandsworth, a junior out of Floyd, Va., has now earned five consecutive top-20 finishes, dating back to 2010 and has led Maryland in each of its three events this spring.

Behind Hollandsworth, Hayley Brown concluded Sunday's intercollegiate tied for 23rd at 225. Christine Shimel tied for 42nd at 231 while Kerri Connolly and Hilary Lawson both fired off 234s to round out Maryland's competitors.

Tennessee's Nathalie Mansson and Erica Popson tied for first individually, each shooting 213 over three days. Mansson won the individual title on the third playoff hole. Southern Mississippi's Virginia Espejo claimed third with a one-under 215.

As a team, Maryland earned its fifth straight top-10 placing thanks to its three-round 909, giving the Terps eighth place.

The Volunteers of Tennessee won the event after shooting a course-record 863, 14 strokes ahead of Tulane's then-record-setting feat in 2010. Tulsa claimed second at 893 and Tulane earned third at 898, thanks to a day-low 292 on Sunday.
