She played her final nine holes of the tournament to that 1-under par with two birdies and a bogey while climbing 10 spots on the leaderboard.
 
Midwestern State's Tristan Gabbard won the individual medalist honor by firing a 2-over, 218 for the tournament.
 
Colorado Mesa finished in seventh place on the team leaderboard, up one spot from where they finished yesterday. They finished 12 strokes behind tied for fifth Cameron and Biola and five shots up on RMAC preseason favorite UCCS.
