Yoe shot a 40 on the front nine and a 39 on the back nine for a combined round of 79. Huertas was just one stroke behind her teammate and finished with an 80 (40 - 40) over one round of play.

As a team the Urban Knights finished 3rd out of eight teams. Crystal Superal nabbed a 12th place (43 - 41, 84) finish and Andrea Nieto finished tied for 14th (42- 43, 85). Khadija Del-Lero finished in 35th place in her  Urban Knights debut.
