The Lady Vols shot 12-over (876) as a team, finishing 7th of 14 teams at the tournament, which was hosted at Governors Club. Sophomore Manassanan Chotikabhukkana finished tied for 12th place with a score of even-par, thanks to a 2-under posted in the third and final round on Tuesday. Her 54-hole score of 216 was the lowest of the season and the fifth-lowest of her young career. Tennessee was one of five schools to have two golfers place in the top 15.
Freshman Martina Lopez-Lanchares shined in her first collegiate tournament, notching scores of 69 and 73 in rounds two and three, respectively. Competing as an individual, her cumulative score of 6-over was tied for 29th best of 80 total participants.
Lady Vols Bailey Davis and Vanessa Gilly finished tied for 49th at 11-over. Davis used a bogey-free front nine in round two to shoot even-par. After a shaky start to round three, Gilly recovered by logging birdies in three of her last six holes to get back to 4-over. Sophomore Angela Arora rounded out the lineup for the Lady Vols, finishing T-60 at 13-over.
