Iowa State carded the lowest round of the day to earn a comfortable victory over second place LSU with an 868. Texas A&M finished third with TCU fourth and tournament host Michigan State rounding out the top five.
Austin Ernst of LSU shot an even-par 72 to earn medalist honors by one stroke over Brooke Beeler of TCU.
