With cold and windy conditions throughout the tournament's three rounds, the Scarlet Knights tied for 14th in the 17-team field. North Texas captured the team title with its 31-over-par 895, followed by No. 10 Michigan (+39) and UTSA (+47). No. 45 Ashley Lau (Michigan) and Patricia Sinolungan (North Texas) earned individual honors with their five-over-par 221s.

"We started on the back nine and my birdie on No. 10 set the tone for my day," Nordvik said. "I had a lot of confidence moving forward and felt good with my irons. It was great to finish the event with a good round."

Rookie Lucrezia Rossettin (T/68), senior Maeve Rossi (T/75) and junior Sun Hwang (T/88) rounded out the team scorecard on Tuesday. Hwang rolled in three birdies on Tuesday on holes nine, 11 and 13.
