LaHa led the team on the individual leaderboard in a tie for second place. She carded a 54-hole score of 3-over 219, including back-to-back 71s in the final two rounds. The outing marks LaHa’s second top-10 finish of the season and the fourth of her career.

Propeck marked the second Cavalier to finish in the top 10 shooting 4-over 220 for the tournament. On the final round, Propeck tied a career-low, shooting 7-under 65 on her way to setting an Honors Course record.
