Notables

The freshman started the day even par through the No. 5 before a bogey on No. 6 stopped the streak and Andersson finished the front nine two-over. She had a rough back nine, but was brightened by a birdie on No. 16, the par three, and finished the tournament in a tie for ninth.
- Johanna Andersson remained Mount Olive's overall lowest scorer as the Junior shot an 80 in the final round and followed suit with her Swedish teammate shooting even par through the first five holes. She finished the front nine four-over and the back nine saw the same end result, however, her final four holes ended the round one-under securing the Trojans their second-place team finish.
- Linn Bergman had a great start to her final round as after shooting par on her first to holes the Junior picked up a birdie on No. 3 and was one-under until a bogey on No. 8 forced her to finish even at the turn. The second half of Bergman's round was not so favorable as she finished the back eight-over and landed in a tie for 14th.
