The Lobos and UNLV were tied for the team lead entering today's final round and stayed tight throughout the afternoon. The team and individual champions were decided on the final hole as New Mexico junior Katrina Leckovic pared the 18th hole and UNLV freshman Sunny Oh bogeyed to help New Mexico squeak out a one-stroke victory, 890-891. Colorado State finished third with a score of 917, followed by BYU (926), San Diego State (934) and Wyoming (989).
