Sippl carded an 83 on Sunday, which was only bettered by Olson’s 82. Including her 88 from Saturday, Sippl took fourth place at 171, as UW-Platteville’s Tricia Pawelski stood fifth at 175.

The Titans had two other players achieve top-20 results. Amanda Bingham (So. • Mukwonago) put together a 192 for 16th place, and Alyssa Chase (So. • Sun Prairie) took the 19th position with her 195. UW-Oshkosh's Sarah Sheldon (Fr. • Janesville) also notched a 201 (22nd) and Coree Georgenson posted a 243 (33rd) to round out the scoring.
