Rock Valley College transfer Bella Rosado finished one position behind her teammate, firing a 94 to finish in a tie for sixth-place.
Two-time all-CCAC first-team selection Lizzie Howard snagged sole possession of eighth place at 95, while Mya Jones rounded out the ONU scoring with a ninth-place finish at 98. Amelia Birge (107) and Jasmine Essington (112) both competed for the Tiger women, as well.
