TUCSON, Ariz.— In the final round of the MountainView Collegiate Invitational, the Blue Raiders saved the best for last as Middle Tennessee turned in its best day on the course of the three-round event.

MT cut eight strokes off its day two score to fire a weekend-best 5-over par to place 10th in the invitational at 37-over (307-301-293=901).

Jenna Burris and Hanley Long lead the way Sunday, each finishing the day 1-under par 72.

Burris carded four birdies on the final day, including three on the back nine. The sophomore placed 11th in the field at 1-over par (76-70-71=213).

Long enjoyed her best day of the weekend as the sophomore birdied six holes in the final round. Long finished the weekend 9-over par (77-77-71=225) to tie for 39th.

Samantha Gotcher also capped the weekend with her best performance. The senior used a pair of birdies to fire 2-over par in the final round to finish the tournament 10-over (76-76-74=226) and tied for 44th.

The Blue Raiders return to action April 10-11 at the Brickyard Collegiate in Macon, Ga. The event hosted by Mercer will be MT's final tournament of the spring before the C-USA Championships the ensuing weekend.
