Ending with a three-round team score of 847 (-17), the Rebels secured the tournament record at the Forest Akers West Golf Course, sitting an impressive 15 strokes ahead of the hosts in Michigan State who finished in second.

Ole Miss was led by Caitlyn Macnab who earned her fourth career medalist finish and first of the season, finishing with the tournament record total score of 204 (-12). The Johannesburg, South Africa, native blazed the course in her final day of play, going 4-under after making five birdies and 12 pars.

Tying for fifth place, the Carthage, Tennessee, native earned her highest career individual finish and additionally earned the third-best par-3 scoring in the field alongside Macnab (-3).
Kajsalotta Svarvar earned her first top-20 finish of her young career, tying for 20th after shooting 221 (+5) in East Lansing. In her third and final round, the freshman saw a perfect back nine after making two birdies and seven pars, to match her first-round score of 73 (+1).
Rounding out the championship lineup for the Rebels was Filippa Sundquist who boasted a scorecard of 222 (+6) after going 5-over on the final day. The Kullavik, Sweden, native earned a share of 25th place to cap off her second career collegiate tournament.
