Coming into the day having shot 2-over after 36 holes of play, Lopez Ramirez put together the best single round of any golfer out of the 17-team field, shooting a 7-under 64 to finish with a 54-hole total of 5-under.
Her fantastic round put her tied for first individually as Mississippi State went on a run in the final day of play, finishing 11th at 14-over par.
Despite shooting 19-over par in the second round, the Bulldogs regrouped and finished just two strokes out of a sixth place finish at Long Cove Club in Hilton Head.
Mississippi State got as high as tied for eighth place over Wednesday’s action, but was still able to shoot 4-over as a team, a strong finish in a field packed with talent.
Nine Southeastern Conference teams participated in the Intercollegiate, with the Bulldogs placing sixth out of those nine teams.
