Freshman Sofie Hlinomazová displayed her promise, securing third place at 2-under, while sophomore Rebekah Gardner’s consistent play earned her a share of fourth at 1-under.

The Hurricanes’ lineup depth extended to those playing individually as well—sophomore Aada Rissanen finished T-20 at 4-over, and junior Katie Carman posted a 24-over to finish 58th.
Florida Gulf Coast claimed second place with a 7-over 871, and South Alabama followed closely with an 8-over 872 to complete the top three.

Individually, Grønborg excelled on the par-3s, averaging 3.83, while Amion showed remarkable consistency with 42 pars, the highest in the field.
