The event featured several of the strongest programs in the West Region, including tournament champion Cal State San Marcos (+32), runner-up Simon Fraser (+42), and Cal State Los Angeles (+49) rounding out the top three.
Behind Eroles, Torrie Bowman turned in a solid performance, finishing tied for 38th at 239 (+23) with rounds of 77, 80, and 82. Bowman's opening-day 77 helped keep the Pioneers within striking distance early in the event. Chantel Tsai posted rounds of 79, 79, and 87 to tie for 46th at 245 (+29).
