THE WOODLANDS, Texas –– Tulsa sophomore Lorena Tseng won her second career tournament on Tuesday after scoring a 5-under par 67 in final round action for a 7-under par 209 total at the 54-hole ICON Invitational.

The Hurricane women moved up three spots into 7^th place from Monday to end the tournament with an identical score to yesterday's 286 second round total, thus finishing the event at The Woodlands Country Club Tournament Course with a score of 875. Unranked Tulsa finished ahead of No. 20-ranked Virginia Tech, No. 23 Texas Tech and No.32 Houston.

Tseng sat two strokes out of first place at the start of the day. After going 1-over par through her first 4 holes, holes 7 through 11 in the shotgun start, Tseng birdied 5 of her next 8 holes for a 4-under score going into her 13th hole, which was Hole No. 1. She shot even-par for 5 straight holes before ending the round with her 6^th birdie of the day on the par-5, 548-yard 6^th hole.

The victory marks Tseng's 5^th top-10 finish this year and her first career win since a 13-under par score last season at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.

Playing as an individual, sophomore Jasmine Zhang had a final round 76 for a 35^th place total of 221.
