CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Sarah Brown, Lauren Mason and Stephanie Bertelsen finished tied for 14th to help lead Texas Tech to a third place finish in the Briar's Creek Invitational at The Golf Club at Briar's Creek on Tuesday.

The Lady Raiders moved up into the second place slot following the completion of the second round early Tuesday morning with a 1-over 289 and then went back and forth with No. 38 Miami the remainder of the day. Brown led the charge with a 4-under 68 in the second round - her second-lowest 18-hole score this season.
She recovered in her third round with birdies on three of her final seven holes following a triple bogey on No. 12 and bogey on the 13th. Brown (79-68-63--220) and Mason (70-73-77--220) finished with the third-most birdies this week with 12 each while Kimmy Hill and Gabby Barker ended the tournament with 10 and nine, respectively.
