The Florida State Seminoles successfully defended their 2024 title at the Collegiate Invitational at Guadalajara Country Club in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. They finished 10-under as a team and six shots clear of the field and become the first two-time winners of the event.
After the first day of play, Florida State led the team competition by four shots at 5-under. The first day consisted of 27 holes, with Florida State shooting 4-under 284 in the first round and 1-under 143 on the final nine holes.
On day two, Florida State finished the second round 6-under and shot an even-par 288 to stay at 10-under and win comfortably.
"Playing 27 holes in a day is tough," said head coach Amy Bond to FSU Athletics. "We finished the second round well but did not do a great job at the start of the third round. To each girl's absolute credit, they found a way to dig deep and finished the back nine in the third round and six under par with only one bogey."
TCU finished in solo second place at 4-under and six shots back of the Seminoles and was the only other team to shoot under par. Virginia finished in solo third place at 3-over, Houston finished in solo fourth place at 10-over, and NC State and SMU finished T5 at 29-over to round out the top five.
