SARASOTA, Fla. (February 16, 2026) – Northwestern senior Dianna Lee claimed her second victory of the season, her third of her career, as the Wildcats swept the competition at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational.
 
The 'Cats saved their best for last, firing a four-under 284 in their final round to pace the team competition. Northwestern finished with a 54-hole team score of 884 (294-306-284), four shots clear of Oklahoma (299-303-286=888), who finished in second.
