AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Fátima Fernández Cano turned in the fourth top 10 finish of her freshman season against a star-studded field at the 3M Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate. Cano finished in a tie for sixth place and Troy tied for eighth against a field that included five teams ranked in the top 50.

The Trojans combined to shoot a 610 over Saturday's 36 holes at the Forest Hills Golf Club that yielded high scores all weekend; the average round was a 78.9. Troy finished just four shots back of No. 34 GRU Augusta and two shots back of No. 48 Illinois; the Trojans tied with No. 61 Purdue and finished in front of three teams who were ahead of them in the national rankings.

Cano improved from round-to-round and shot a 75 in the second round before closing her day with a 73 thanks to a birdie and just two bogeys. Her second round featured a pair of birdies and an eagle on the par-5, 533-yard No. 17.

Taylor McGraw continued her solid spring with a pair of 75s on Saturday to finish in a tie for 17^th place. McGraw, who sank four birdies over her final 36 holes, has a pair of top-10 finishes and now a top-20 finish in Troy's three spring tournaments.

Langley Vannoy tied for 36^th place after shooting a 159 on Saturday, while Brooke Spinks tied for 58^th place and Sydney Conrad tied for 61^st place.

No. 14 Vanderbilt won the team title by 10 strokes over Mercer, while No. 41 Kansas finished in third, No. 46 East Tennessee State in fourth and Campbell in fifth.
