One of the most successful seasons in Arkansas Tech University women's golf history culminated with an 11th-place finish at the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Championships at Findlay Country Club in Findlay, Ohio, May 17-20.

BU shot 18-over 306 in Monday's final round and finished at 53-over 917, three stokes in front of the cut.

ASU faces Florida in their quarterfinal match on Tuesday morning. Stanford placed second in stroke play at 41-over 905. BU returns only one player from the 2015 national runner-up squad in Dylan Kim, but junior Amy Lee competed for USC in that same match play. Lee needed a par on the 18th hole to clinch Baylor's spot in match play, and she almost chipped in for eagle from 20 yards out before tapping in with a birdie. Freshman Kristen Gillman (78-78-70/226) tied for 17th at 10-over par after a two-under par final round. Lee punched her second shot to the fringe of the green, then flicked a chip to within inches of the hole, leading to the tap-in birdie putt. It is Harris' second selection by USA Basketball following her role in the 2016 FIBA U18 Americas Championship gold-medal team and marks the fourth-straight season that a current or future Gamecock will don a USA Basketball uniform in global competition.

Shayne Allan and Travis Simmons both carded a 75 in the opening round to sit at five-over par and tied for 68th place.

Host school Northwestern led eight teams advancing to match play that will decide the team title the next two days.

In a field packed solid among the top 12 teams, USC remained inside the top 8 throughout the afternoon, reaching as high as a tie for third. Cole Dillon rebounded from a bogey, triple bogey start to record two birdies, two bogeys and 12 pars over the final 16 holes to finish with a four-over par 74.

Baylor's 12-over 300 tied the fourth-best round of the tournament.

Marfa Sans shaved seven strokes off her Sunday score with a 7-over-par 79 in the third round and finished the tournament 30-over-par 246 (81-86-79).

Maria Vesga is also tied for ninth in par-4 scoring at 4-over 4.20.
