Emily Hunt took the individual crown, finishing Even par.
The Women's Golf program now boasts nine team victories all-time. The team score of 598 is good enough for third lowest all-time in 36-hole tournaments.
"I'm so proud of
Emily Hunt and
Brooke Sullivan for firing their first collegiate competitive rounds under par, and for Emily's first collegiate win," commented head coach
Kevin Millikan. "She (Hunt) finished third and second the last two seasons, so this was great validation for her"
Hunt becomes just the third women's golf student-athlete to win a tournament for the Lady Rams. However, it is the 11th individual victory for the program.
