Chico State was lead by Brittany O’Bryant who had a couple of birdies and even pars up until the seventh hole. Overall she scored a 3-over par 75 which earned her a shared spot of sixth place individually.

Clare Brady was the second highest scoring Wildcat that came in at a 7-over par 79 earning her a shared spot of 24th place overall.

Brady was followed by Emily Rotter scoring 8-over par 80 in her first game back since late October.

Natalie Kinney started out rough but overcame it to finish tied for 40th place at 10-over par 82.

Julia Kalez ended the Wildcats’ team scorecard with a 12-over 84, good enough for 43rd place

Cal State San Marcos continues to dominate in first once again at a score of 12-over par 300. The runner-up Academy of Art is at the Otters toes with a score of 13-over par 301.
