Stockbridge, Ga. - Senior Josefine Sundh carded a team-low, two-over par, 74, on Tuesday to pace the squad as Western Carolina finished eighth out of 15 teams at the John Kirk / Panther Intercollegiate, hosted by Georgia State at the par-72, 6,074-yard Eagle's Landing Country Club.

WCU was just six strokes out of fifth place in the final standings, scoring the team's eighth top-10 finish of the season. The Catamounts' three-round score of 919 ranks 21st in the program's record books for 54-hole tournaments.

Also, only three of the seven schools that finished ahead of WCU in the final standings rank behind the Catamounts - currently 67th in NCAA Division I - in the most recent GolfStat ranks.

No. 25 Notre Dame led start-to-finish to claim the team championship by 17 strokes over second place Maryland, 888-to-905. East Tennessee State placed third, one-stroke in arrears of the Terrapins at 906, with Daytona State College finishing fourth at 909 and James Madison fifth with a three-round total of 913.
