Conference Golfer of the Year Lisbeth Meincke took the individual title, shooting 70 in the third round to earn a final margin of victory of ten strokes over teammate Joanna Klatten.

The Tribe was led start to finish in the Championships by senior Sayde Murray (York, PA), who led the tournament after the first round and finished fifth overall with a three-round total of 234 (+21). Misha Harvey (Forest, VA) also placed in the top 10, tying for eighth at +24.
