Freshman Adrianna DiLonardo opened with a 91 on the first day of play, the worst round of her collegiate career. She rebounded on Tuesday to shoot 77, the low round of the tournament and one of only two scores in the 70s. She finished tied for fifth overall at 168.
The other round in the 70s belonged to classmate Juliana Carrillo, who finished one shot off the individual title with a tournament total of 166. She finished tied for third overall after shooting 79 in the final round.
The America East Women's Golf Championship is in its second year. The Hawks, who finished third last year with a two-round total of 793, improved their team score by 125 strokes.
