GREENVILLE, S.C. -- With all five golfers, including three freshmen, placing in the top 25, TCU women's golf concluded play Sunday with a team title at the Lady Paladin Invitational hosted by Furman University in Greenville, S.C.
It's the 11th tournament championship in the 14-year tenure of TCU head coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin.
The 39th-ranked Horned Frogs posted a 14-stroke advantage over runner-up and No. 19 Notre Dame.
For the second straight day, TCU had four players shoot 75 or better.
The Frogs were led by sophomore Valentine Derrey. Her 5-over-par 221, including a final-round 74, placed her third individually and four strokes off the pace set by medalist Carmen Perez-Narbon of UNC Wilmington.
Fort Worth native (Fossil Ridge High School) and TCU freshman Prisela Campbell, playing in her first collegiate tournament, finished fourth with a 6-over 222. She shot 75 or better in all three rounds.
TCU senior Carrie Morris tied for 12th individually. Freshmen Allyson Ferguson and Melissa Loh both carded final-round 75s to finish 16th and tied for 23rd, respectively.
The Frogs return to action Oct. 29 when they begin play at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.
