Navy was led by sophomore Morgan Frazier, who placed sixth with a 162 (80-82; +18). It was her team-leading fifth top-10 finish of the year, which is the most in a single season in school history.
Freshman Christine McDonnell placed seventh with a 163 (82-81; +19). McDonnell is averaging a team-best 76.5, while Frazier is averaging a 77.3.

Root, Moon, Schroeder and Vincent were competing as individuals and their scores did not count towards Navy's team score.
"We had two players in the top 10, which was great," said Navy head coach Nadia Ste-Marie. "But overall we were a little disappointed with how we scored. The conditions were challenging, but even though we haven't played a home tournament in a while, we do know this course. We will practice hard these next few weeks and make improvements to get ready for the Patriot League Championship."
Navy will next host the Patriot League Women's Golf Championship from April 21-22.
