Fellow Tiger seniors Rayn Castillo and Stella Bayley each carded a 91 (+20) to tie for fifth. Castillo picked up birdies on the sixth and 12th holes before closing with an even-par 4 on hole 18. Bayley parred seven holes on the day.

Freshman Sophie Molitor went 94 (+23) to finish ninth. Junior Alyee Roberts (108) and freshman Leola Jones (152) also competed. Roberts birdied the par-4 18th to close her round.

In other team scoring, Ellensburg was fifth at 447, followed by Prosser (471), Grandview (478), Quincy (534) and Toppenish (605).
