However, she took a double-bogey on No. 18 to finish with a 76.
The Trojans struggled as a whole on the front nine as the made the turn at 18-over par with just three birdies.

Lindsey Harrison turned in the best round of the day for Troy as she carded four birdies – three on the back nine – en route to shooting a 3-over 75. The strong finish catapulted her into her second top-25 finish of the season as she tied for 25th.
Eva Fabricius-Bjerre tied for 34th after carding an 8-over on the day and a 1-over back nine, while Abby Parks tied for 60th and Antonia Poate finished 63rd.

Troy is done until February 26-27 when it opens the spring season at The Dickson hosted by Houston.
Quotable – Troy head coach Randy Keck
"We showed some competitive fire today on the back nine, and I was really pleased with that. We're excited about the offseason – we need some time to get better for a strong spring season. We need fitness work in the gym and we need some technical work on the course. We can use these last nine holes and build off them over the winter.
"The round Sarah played yesterday afternoon was a really good round of golf – the pins were tough and the conditions were not ideal; she is going to be a great player for us."
