Sophomore Iyene Essien finished better than 52 Division I golfers with a two-day score of 156, following up yesterday's 73 with an 83 in Monday's tough conditions. She started her round with seven straight bogies during the hardest rain of the day, and closed with five pars and a birdie on the par-four 11th over the final 11 holes.
 
Classmate Carinna Anastasio battled the elements to take six shots off of yesterday's score with a 90 on day two, finishing the weekend at 186. First-year Claire Giletta followed a 96 yesterday with a 97 today to end the event at 193. Classmate Emma Doherty ended the two days at 203 and sophomore Ella Golas finished at 210.
