Detroit had three golfers place in the top 15 as former Titans Ashley Hamilton (162) and Mandi Dupuis (167) place sixth and 10th, respectively. UDM senior Rachel McHenry (Livonia, MI) rounded out the top three Titans as she shot an 86 and an 82 to finish in a tie for 13th with a total score of 168.
