Catherine French of Assumption catapulted five slots on the individual leaderboard knocking off nine strokes from her first-round score shooting a 69 (-3) second round to win medalist honors at 147 (+3).

Team captain, Zoey Yamamoto placed fourth carding 153 (+9). Yamamoto was the only golfer to record an eagle over the course of the two days. Harley climbed into the top-10 after dropping two strokes from her score to complete the tourney at 158 (+14). Hartley paced the field in pars (24) as well.

Freshman Alia Godek (Feeding Hills, Mass.) and sophomore Christine Songcuan (Lancaster, Calif.) wrapped up the tourney at 167 (+23) and 173 (+29).

Six Ravens competed as individuals. Jones finished third out of all individuals in 14th place at 163 (+19). Newcomer Micaela Leandro (Harlingen, Texas), tied for 20th ending the two rounds at 169 (+25) which made six Pierce golfers in the top-20.
