Freshman Tara Chappell chipped in with a final round 80 that put her into a tie for 25th, one stroke back of Arakawa.

Host California took the team title with a 681 total, seven shots clear of runner-up Washington. The Bears were led by Sarah Huarte who won the individual title with an even-par total of 144. Huarte was the only golfer to have two rounds of par or better.
