Junior Meredith Fairbairn (Orangeville, Ontario, Canada-Westside Secondary School) led the way for the Eagles, firing a four-over par 220 (72-73-75) to finish tied for fourth place. The top-five showing was the first of Fairbairn's career and her 54-hole total is also tied for the 10th lowest cumulative total in program-history.

Host Florida International shot a final round 390 Tuesday, Oct. 25, for a three-day score of 882 strokes for first place. North Texas was third with a 903 (301-303-299) followed by Boston College (300-305-305=909) and Stetson (305-297-313=915).

All told, three of the six players in the EMU lineup finished inside the top-10. Alyssa Kwon (Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada-Richmond Hill) closed with a final round 77 for a total of 223 (74-72-77) in eighth place, one shot ahead of Sarah Johnson(Wixom, Mich.-Walled Lake Central) in ninth place with 224 (79-72-73). With a 233 (77-75-81), Rushda Mallick (Cape Town, South Africa-Glenwood House-Cape Peninsula University of Technology) finished Tuesday in a tie for 26th. Rounding out the lineup, Shannon Warner (Livonia, Mich.-Livonia Churchill-Michigan State) tied for 35th with a 235 (81-78-76).

Competing as an individual, sophomore Corey Crossan (London, Ontario, Canada-Mother Teresa Catholic Secondary School) fired rounds of 79, 79 and 75 for a share of 26th.
