JOHNS ISLAND, S.C. – Nadine White shot a 5-under-par 67 to tie her collegiate career low round and finished in a tie for seventh on the individual leader board following Tuesday's final round of the Briar's Creek Invitational women's golf tournament.

In a field that included eight teams ranked among Golfstat's top 50, No.-54 Campbell (302-290-289—881) finished in a tie for 10th place with Wisconsin (302-290-289—881) in the 18-team event.  Eighth-ranked Florida (293-280-285—858) earned the team title at 6-under par, 11 strokes ahead of runner-up Indiana (291-285-293—869).

The Camels finished in front of three Big Ten Conference schools, including No.-30 Michigan State, and a pair of ACC members (Virginia Tech and Boston College).

White equaled the school record for most strokes below par in a single round (5) set by Michelle Koh at the 2010 Palmetto Intercollegiate and equaled eight times.  Her score of 9-under 135 over the last two rounds was the lowest consecutive round total turned in by a Camel player since Tahnia Ravnjak shot 69-66 over the final two rounds of the 2013 Golfweek Program Challenge on a par-71 layout.

Her 67 tied for the second-lowest score in school history behind Koh and Tahnia Ravnjak, both of whom shot 66 on par-71 courses.

On Tuesday, the lone blemish on White's scorecard was a bogey on the par-four 12th; her third hole of the day.  From there on in she made five birdies and 10 pars to finish the even at 3-under 213 (78-68-67).  She was one of only 10 players in the 93-golfer field to finish in red numbers on the par-72, 6036-yard Golf Club at Briar's Creek layout.

Frida Gustafsson Spang of East Carolina won the individual title at 8-under 208 (73-67-68), one stroke ahead of Morgane Metraux of Florida State (71-68-70—209) and Lauren Stephenson from Clemson (69-68-72—209).

In posting her fourth top-10 finish of the season, White played the par-3 holes at 1-under, was 2-over on the par four layouts and 4-under on the par-fives.  Her first collegiate ace came in Monday afternoon's second round on the par-three, 141-yard 15th hole.  The junior from Brisbane, Australia had 12 birdies over the 54-hole event, 11 over the last two rounds.

After finishing Monday morning's opening round at 6-over 78, White had five birdies and an ace to highlight her second 18 holes.  Her hole-in-one came on the par-three, 141-yard 15th hole.  The junior from Brisbane, Australia finished her day with 21 pars plus six birdies and played the par-three holes even. 

Ravnjak, a senior from Cordeaux Heights, Australia, closed with a 1-under-par 71 to finish in a tie for 38th (77-74-71—222).  She made five birdies Tuesday and eagled the par-four 11th hole.  Sophomore Annelie Sjoholm (74-74-76—224) and junior Louise Latorre (74-75-75—224) tied for 49th place.

Sjoholm made 36 pars over 54 holes and played the par-3 holes even, tied for seventh in the field.  Latorre was also even on the par-threes and played the par-5 holes at 6-under, tied for third in the event.  Sophomore Ayelen Irizar tied for 66th (77-74-77—228) after finishing 3-under on the par-five holes.

As a team, Campbell led the field in eagles (3) and was second in par-3 (+3) and par-5 (-15) scoring.  CU players combined for 162 pars over three rounds, tied for sixth.

The Camels return to action Apr. 4-5 in the Web.com Intercollegiate at Marsh Landing CC in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
