Freshman Carolina Chacarra rounded out the Deacs in the top five, as she finished in a tie for fifth, one stroke back from Olankitkunchai at four under for the tournament. She was also sitting at even par at the turn and recorded a birdie on the par-five 15th to finish the final round one under par.
Sophomore Mimi Rhodes had her best round of the event on Tuesday. Three birdies on her first nine holes aided her tied for 10th finish. She finished the day with a birdie on her last hole to close out the round at four under par. She finished one under par for the event.

Senior Vanessa Knecht finished inside the top 20 in her first appearance of the season at T17 with a score of 219.

Coach's Comments
"We are so proud of this group, both groups. Everyone faced some kind of adversity, and everyone was able to overcome it. Overall, we played well and saw some good things out of each player. The Bryan is a special tournament for us, and we are always happy when we come home with a trophy. The course was in great shape and the weather was perfect for all three days. We have a few things to work on before our next event, but we are going to enjoy this one today." - head coach Kim Lewellen
Up Next
The Demon Deacons will head east to Chapel Hill for the Ruth Chris Tar Heel Invitational October 15-17, hosted by North Carolina.
