Christy Carter of Oral Roberts and Paula Hurtado of Florida International played on the 10th hole to settle the tie. After the hole, Carter came away with the playoff victory and best overall scorer of the classic.
Fortin, who was tied for sixth place after day one, carded another solid round of 76 to finish with a 225 (76-73-76). The finish was her fifth top 10 showing of the season and the 16th of her outstanding career.
After struggling in the first round with an 80, Fleet found her groove and notched back-to-back rounds of 72 and 73 to finish with a 225. The tie for seventh was her fifth top 10 showing during the 2007-08 campaign and the 13th during her career.
