Its tournament total of 859 (-5) is the second-lowest 54-hole score in program history.

For Amezcua and Olivares Leon, their tournament totals of 210 (-6) are the third-lowest by a player in Wolfpack history. Additionally, Amezcua's 13th-place finish is a career best for her.
Fric finished the week with an even-par score of 216, highlighted by a 69 (-3) in round two. Her round three performance of 75 (+3) was enough to finish the week in a tie for 42nd place.
