Raquel Paragas shot a season low 76 in the final round and finished 29th.  Redshirt freshman Mary Tukuafu was the ''surprise'' of the tournament according to head coach John Guerrero, Tukuafu fired one of her best rounds of the year 83 (+11).  Improving from her first round by 21 strokes.

"I am extremely proud of this team and coaches!! We talked all year long about sacrifice and commitment to this year knowing we had NO depth," said Guerrero, "our third round at this tournament may have saved our postseason chances at an at-large bid. Coach proud!"

The Lady T-Birds now wait until next week to see if they earned one of the five at-large bids for the NJCAA DI Women's Golf Championship hosted by Eastern Florida State College.
