Virunpat Olankitkunchai led the Terps with her score of 210 (71-70-69), which was 6 strokes under par. She had five birdies in the third round Tuesday and tied for 3rd in the event.
"This was a solid performance from the team," head coach
Diana Cantu said. "We had several under par rounds every round and it's great to see that the entire team can go low at any time. We had strong finishes and this should give us confidence for the rest of the fall season. We are going to keep working on our games in order to continue to improve. I am very proud of Virunpat's finish. She is racking up another top 3 finish to her career. It's a short turnaround before we head to Austin, Texas. It should be a good event as well."
