The senior carded a 43 on the front nine and a 44 on the back at Deerpath Golf Course. Her effort helped the Wildcats (367) edge out Lake Forest (372) for second place in the conference.

Libertyville's Victoria Mendenhall (12th, 93), Darinka Sutic (13th, 93) and Emilie Teitz (15th, 94) also picked up conference medals.
