Head coach Stacy Snider said:
“It was great to start off the spring season the way we ended the fall, with a win. The girls played very steady considering the cold conditions yesterday.
“Alison took home medalist for the fourth time, again finishing under par. She is obviously our rock but everyone contributed to this victory.”
Alison Knowles spreadeagle the field with her effort over the par-72, 6,226yd course.
She won by three shots from Charlotte Jaengkit (Grand Canyon) (71-73) and finished eight shots ahead of the third-placed Paige Nelson (Sam Houston State) (72-77).
