She led the competition on the first day with a 73 and went into the third day in second place with a score of 76 on the second day. Bermel shot a score of 83 on the final day of the tournament to tie for 12th place overall and a score of 232 (or +19). Bermel was awarded her fourth First Team MVC all-conference honors, making her the first female golfer in school history to achieve this feat. 

UNI’s Allison Nuss finished the tournament in a tie for 21st place. She shot a 79 on the first day followed by 80s on the next two days to give her an overall score of 239(or +26).
