In the second regional appearance of her collegiate career, Bunch finished with a 54-hole score of 220 (+4) after carding a 71 (-1) in the third and final round on Wednesday afternoon.
Kansas State’s Carla Bernat took home the individual title after shooting a 66 (-6) in the final round to finish at 12-under for the tournament, giving her a two-stroke over Florida State’s Lottie Woad and Mirabel Ting.
On the team side, the top-seeded Florida State Seminoles took the title by shooting a combined 15-under for the week to advance to nationals in California. Joining FSU at nationals will be Georgia Southern (-10), Kansas State (-10), Southern California (-7) and Vanderbilt (+2).
On the day, Bunch recorded four total birdies, including two across her first three holes to open her strong day on the course. This brought her total to 12 birdies for the week, which ranked tied for fifth among the 66-woman field.
