ATHENS, Ala. - A back-and-forth battle for the runner-up spot with Spring Hill (Ala.) ended in a draw for the Midway women's golf team.

Cameron was right behind with a 157 (+13), tying for ninth place.

Bree Smith made a seven-stroke improvement on Tuesday, her 77 proving to be Midway's best performance of the round. Smith tied for 15th with a final score of 161.
