WILMETTE, Ill. – Paced by three rounds under-par, and a pair of Top-10 individual results, Northwestern posted the best score in the field in Tuesday's final round to secure a Top-4 result at the 11th Annual Windy City Collegiate Classic, hosted at Westmoreland Country Club.
Junior Brooke Riley posted three birdies over a six-hole stretch in the middle of her round to record a 1-under 71 on Tuesday and secure a share of 7th. The lefty was the Wildcats top performer in Monday's afternoon round, birdieing four of her final six holes to card a 2-under 70 in the grueling latter half of a 36-hole opening day.

Newcomer Kelly Sim found herself 2-over for the round and 3-over for the tournament at Tuesday's turn, but flipped a switch before attacking Westmoreland's back-nine. The rookie birdied four holes on the back side, including the course's two longest offerings, the 505-yard No. 11 and the 503-yard No. 15, to card a final round 70 and earn a share of 7th at 1-under for the week.
Senior Stephanie Lau signed her name to a final round 69, Northwestern's best round of the tournament, that featured four birdies and 13 pars. The Fullerton, California, native finished T18 for the second Top-20 of her Windy City career.
Led by medalist Gabriela Ruffels (-10), the University of Southern California took top team honors with an even-par 864 providing a five-shot cushion over runner-up Arizona State.
As a team, Northwestern finished tied for fourth in what has become one of the best fall events on the college golf calendar, the program's best result since the 2015 Windy City Collegiate Classic championship at Westmoreland.
