FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – For the second consecutive season, the Mississippi State women's golf team finished the Blessings Collegiate Invitational in second place. Individually, Julia Lopez Ramirez finished in second as well.

In the final day of action at the Blessings, Lopez Ramirez tied her season-best round of 6-under par. The senior fired off a team-best five birdies, just on the back nine, to secure the runner-up spot. In the last three seasons, Lopez Ramirez has won an individual title and been runner-up twice at the Blessings, with her individual title coming in 2022.

Avery Weed picked up a top-10 finish at the Blessings after finishing the tournament with a three-day total of 6-over par. Weed finished the final round at 1-over to pick up her second top-10 finish of the season.

Chiara Horder finished right outside of the top 10 at 8-over par. The senior picked up her second best finish as a Bulldog as she finished 11th, three spots behind her 8th place finish at the Blessings last year. This is the third time Horder has finished in the top 20 during her time at State, and the second time she's done so this season.

The Bulldogs will wrap up the fall portion of their season when they return to Starkville for their annual home tournament, The Ally, on October 21. Admission will be free to the public at Old Waverly Golf Club
