New York University, who finished ahead of Ithaca at the season-opening St. Lawrence Invitational, finished 15 shots behind Ithaca this time around with a 650.

Ithaca's Sunday round was achieved with excellent play through the top of the lineup, as all four scoring players posted rounds in the 70s. Kimberley Wong led Ithaca on Sunday with a 76. She had an opening round score of 81 and finished with a 157. Sharon Li shot 77 for the second day in a row and placed fourth among all individuals at the tournament with a 154.
