COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Junior Megan Medinger had the low round of the day for Bradley Women's Golf, shooting a one-over 73 to tie for 26th Wednesday, as she helped the Braves finish in a tie with Arkansas State for 10th in the final team standings at the Johnie Imes Invitational.

Coming off her first career top-10 finish at the Cardinal Classic in mid-September, Medinger paced Bradley for the second consecutive tournament as she tied for 26th at eight-over par 224 at the par-72 Club at Old Hawthorne. Medinger matched her first round score from Monday with a one-over 73 on the final day as she finished two shots out of the top 20.

Bradley carded a 307 in Wednesday's final round to move up one spot into a tie for 10th in the 13-team standings. The 307 tied for the seventh-lowest round of the day among the 13 squads in the field, helping the Braves match Arkansas State's three-round total of 911 for 10^th overall. Bradley was two shots back of ninth-place Illinois State (909) and held a three-shot advantage on 12th-place UMKC (914). Tournament-host Missouri won the team title at 11-under par 853, claiming top team honors by 22 strokes over second-place Fresno State (875).

Junior Taylor Ledwein also matched her first-round score with a five-over 77 Wednesday to finish in a tie for 42nd at 228. Jefferson City, Mo., native Brooke Thompson was one shot behind Ledwein at 229 to earn a share of 44th overall. Thompson followed up her season-best round of the season from Tuesday (74) with a four-over 76 in the final round.

Senior Frankie Saban finished out the tournament with an 87, tying for 60th overall at 236, while freshman Sarah Nacos closed out her first collegiate tournament with an 81. Nacos was three shots behind Saban at 239 to tie for 68th in the standings.
