WALLACE -- Julia Kaeding and Matilda Warren each recorded a top-10 individual finish, and University of Mount Olive placed fourth overall during the UNCP-SUNOCO played on the Landing Course links.

Kaeding fired a three-day total of 222, including a final-round 76 which broke the program's 54-hole total.

"It was a great tournament," Kaeding said of her third-place effort. "I had a lot of fun and my results were very satisfying. Not only am I happy with my individual finish, but also with today's team scores. It was a great day to be a Trojan and I cannot wait for conference."

Wahren had a 227. Linn Bergman (236) and Rosewood alum Lindsey Burton (242) completed the Trojans' four-player score of 927. The three-day total eclipsed the old school record by 26 strokes.

UMO finished ahead of Division I Bucknell U.
