\nLe had two birdies on the front nine, and finished off the day with a 71 to go under par again, holding off Xanh, who eagled 18 to make things close at the top of the leaderboard. Le finished one stroke in front of Xanh and was five strokes in front of third-place Kim Turgut of CSUN, one of just four golfers to finish under par at the championship. It was the first win of the senior’s collegiate career, and her second Top 10 performance at the Beach.

\nFreshman Kailey Yoon<\/a> also shot 71 on Tuesday to close the tournament in a tie for 14th place, the third Top 20 finish of the season in her first year. Emma Kang<\/a> shot a one-over 73 and Alyson Sor<\/a> shot a 74 as the team’s two other counting scores, while Erin Lee<\/a> was one stroke back of that with a final day 75.
