As a team, the Eagles finished in 10th place, scoring a final round 314 to finish with a cumulative score of 954 (312-328-314).
No. 42 Kent State captured its 24th consecutive league title, finishing with an 875 (291-305-279). Northern Illinois was the runner up with a 908, followed by Central Michigan (912), and Akron (923).

Eastern Michigan was led by Anna Watson (Ashland, Ohio-Ashland), who finished 14th with a 229 (73-81-75) over the course of the weekend. Watson's 73 on Friday was the best score posted by an EMU player all weekend.
