A&T, playing in its first tournament of the season, finished ninth overall after shooting a three-round 78-over 930. Elon easily won the tournament with a 2-under 850.

Rogers started her day on the back nine and shot a 5-over 41, but she gathered herself to have a solid front nine. She began by birdieing the 366-yard, par-4 first.
