Clara Leathers (Middle Tennessee State), a senior student from Aylesbury, had scores of 78, 77 and 77 for a total of 232 and joint 16th place.
Coastal Carolina (891) won the team title ahead of Augusta State (906) and North Carolina Wilmington (926). Middle Tennessee State (933) finish fifth and Charleston Southern (954) joint 11th in a field of 14 teams.
