NAPERVILLE, Ill.

No. 16 Kent State University captured its 20th consecutive league title, finishing with a MAC-record 11-under 853 (282-285-286) on the par-72, 6,092-yard Naperville Country Club course.
EMU junior Penelope Guilleux (Saint Maur Des Fosse, France-Arsonval) took 10th with a 10-over 226 (75-76-75) for her fourth top-20 finish of the 2017-18 campaign. Overall, it marked her second career top-15 showing at the league's championship having tied for 15th at the event in 2016.
Senior Thelma Beck (Baden, France-Lycee Sainte Anne) wrapped up a sensational EMU career in 13th with a 229 (74-76-79).

The Baden France native concludes her career ranked second in EMU scoring average at 76.50 stokes over the course of 103 rounds.
Freshman Preaw Sripatrprasite (Bangkok, Thailand-Siam International) closed the weekend with an 81 to take 20th with a 235 (74-80-81).
