"The course played a lot tougher today but I thought we fought hard and played better at the end of our round," Toledo Head Coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "We didn't play as well as well we liked, but now we'll try to come back and play better next weekend."

Purdue captured the tournament title at 11-over par 875 (288-290-297), seven strokes ahead of the host Spartans (297-289-296=882) and 12 in front of Notre Dame (298-290-299=887). Texas State's Krista Puisite earned medalist honors with a 54-hole score one-under par 215 (71-71-73).
