UAFS knew going into Tuesday's final round of the Hardscrabble Invitational that it would have lots of ground to make up if the Lady Lions were going to challenge leader Texas A&M-Commerce for the championship.
The Lady Lions shot their second-best round of the three-round, nine-team event, but they couldn't make up much ground as Texas A&M-Commerce kept its grip on first place, winning by 24 strokes.
Texas A&M-Commerce shot a 47-over 887 (294-297-296), while UAFS shot a 71-over 911 (300-310-301). Rogers State (916) was third, followed by Western Texas Community College (921), Nebraska-Kearney (933), Texas A&M-Kingsville (943), Northwestern Oklahoma State (966), Texas A&M International (997) and Missouri Southern State (1,118).
