After firing an even-par 72 in the second round to move into a tie for ninth, sophomore Emily Gimpel carded a final-round 2-over 74 to finish with a 221 (75-72-74) to tie for eighth. It is Gimpel's second top-10 finish of the season.

Junior Christine Shimel and freshman Juliet Vongphoumy tied for 13th. Shimel completed the third round with a 2-over 74 and Vongphoumy closed with a 4-over 76. Both golfers finished the tournament with a 223 with each of them earning their third top-20 finish of the season.

Junior Hayley Brown tied for 33rd with a three-round total of 234 (76-76-82).
