The Panthers shot a 332 in the third day of competition to give them an overall three-round score of 963.
Pre-championship favorite Illinois State (941) won its league-record ninth title, and first since 2005, with an 11-shot victory over defending champion Southern Illinois (952). The Redbirds, who had four players in the top-11, are led by first-year coach Darby Sligh. Drake sophomore Olivia Lansing won medalist honors, firing a final-round 77 for a 54-hole total of 227.
