SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. – Leading the field with a day-three best 286, the No. 19 Ole Miss women’s golf team finished in a tie for fourth place overall on Wednesday at the NCAA Louisville Regional at the University of Louisville Golf Club.

Once again, Kajsalotta Svarvar paced the Rebels with a 69, three-under par, finishing the regional in third place individually at eight under. It marks the fourth top five finish on the season for Svarvar and fifth time in the top 10.
Mary Miller carded a two under par on the day, setting her at four under across 54 holes to sit in a tie for ninth individually, marking her fifth top 10 finish of the year.

The top eight schools will advance to match play to eventually decide the national champion.
