JOHNS ISLAND, S.C. – Senior Cara Barker shot a 2-under round of 70 on Tuesday to complete the Briar's Creek Invitational and help Long Beach State to a sixth place finish. The Beach ended the tournament above five nationally-ranked opponents: No. 20 Furman, No. 22 Clemson, No. 27 Illinois, No. 45 East Carolina and No. 50 Penn State. LBSU was also just two shots back of fourth place and six shots back of third.

The senior made five birdies and three bogeys on Tuesday, including a birdie on her final hole of the day, the par-5 5th. She moved up 35 spots on the leaderboard in the final round, finishing in a tie for 36th along with classmate Haley Tygret.
LBSU's top finisher was junior Maria Davis, who finished tied for 18th with a score of 2-over for the tournament. Davis was just two shots outside the top 10 but did record her third Top 20 finish of the season and second in her last three tournaments.
