Valcarce finished first and helped lead the team to a sixth place finish at the MJGA college invite, hosted by Minot State University. She carded a 75 on the second day and moved up from third to first, tied with a golfer from SMSU. Valcarce won a scorecard playoff with a chipped in birdie she scored on the course's most difficult.
