The Lancers were led by
Camille Short who turned in the fourth lowest three-round individual score in program history with a mark of 233. Short shot a 74 in round one on her way to a second place finish out of 51 golfers.
Lexi Kelley. Who competed as an individual for Grace was next in line for the Lancers. Kelley turned in consecutive rounds of 83 before closing out her tournament with a mark of 76 to secure a sixth place finish.

Raigan King started with an 88 in round one on her way to a career best three-round total of 274 to close out the tournament with a 33rd place finish.
"These tournaments are great for us because you don't get a lot of chances to play 54-holes outside of the postseason," commented Grace head coach
Denny Duncan. "
Camille Short was obviously really good for us again but I am continually impressed by
Lexi Kelley. She has had a tremendous spring and is providing us with incredible depth."
Grace will return to action on April 25 with match play at Stonehenge Golf Course before turning their attention towards the Crossroads League Championships.
