Cierra DeHoet of Woodward-Granger was the medalist at 90 strokes.

Coach Lori McGivney expressed her appreciation for the girls' effort when she said, "The girls put together some nice scores to tie for third at Woodward. The girls endured ran and cold and then enjoyed sunshine while putting in eighteen holes against very good competition."

Only three girls were able to play including Baier, Byers, and Lemke. Baier again led the Chargers with a 114, followed by Lemke with a 126 and Byers with a 127.
