BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Senior Megan McLean (Lebanon, N.J.) paced the Nittany Lions with her best finish of the season tying for 26th in the 98-player field at the Indiana invitational after carding a 2-over, 74, during the final round on Sunday afternoon.
The Nittany Lions struggled closing out the second round this morning but shaved eight strokes off their total during the final round registering an 8-over, 296, finishing tied for ninth with Minnesota at 38-over for the championship.

Kent State won the tournament as the only team under-par at 8-under a full 10 strokes ahead of second-place Maryland at 2-over. Michigan State (6-over), Michigan (13-over) and Northwestern (19-over) rounded out the top-five.
