As a team, Akron posted rounds of 307 (+19) and-301 (+13) for a 608 (+32) tournament total which was good for second place. The Zips entered the final round tied with the Falcons, but BGSU tallied an even-par 288 final round for the tournament title.

Also finishing in the Top 15 in scoring for Akron were sophomore Jennifer David (Hudson, Ohio) and junior Ivana Shah (Mumbai, India). David landed 11^th overall with a 153 (+9) with rounds of 76 (+4) and 77 (+5), while Shah registered 18-hole totals of 80 (+8) and 74 (+2) for a 15^th-place 10-over par finish (154).
