Freshman Reagan Ramage claimed the individual title, becoming WKU's third individual champion in the last four seasons (Sydney Hackett, 2025 and Catie Craig, 2023). She's the first freshman to win a CUSA title since 2013 (Nico Engstroem Skaug, East Carolina). Ramage began the day tied for eighth place, but a 7-under 65 vaulted her into the lead.

QUOTABLE
"I'm so proud of the team," said head coach Adam Gary. "They handled adversity all semester with a good attitude and work ethic. It took almost 50 years to get the first one and it's unreal to have two now. I'm so impressed with how our freshman Reagan played today. A 7-under, bogey-free round on this course is super impressive"
