The Mariners competed against several ranked top programs, holding their own throughout the 54-hole tournament at the Innisbrook Golf Resort's South Course.

Sophomore Madelyn Taylor led the charge for Coastal, carding rounds of 71, 70, and 74 to finish in 4th place individually. Her consistent play set the tone for the team across all three rounds.

Other standout performers included Carlin Paulk, who finished in 11th place, and Elise Forberg, who secured a top-30 finish at 27th overall.
