When Rollins won the Division II Women's Golf Championships team title last year it marked the first title for the Tars after three runner-up finishes in seven years. Apparently comfortable with the role of champion, the 2004 Tars steamrolled the field on their way to a 68-stroke win at this year's championships.

The tournament was part of the inaugural Division II National Championships Festival and was conducted May 12-15 at the Legacy Club at Alaqua Lakes near Orlando, Florida.

Not only did Rollins repeat, but so did the Tars' Charlotte Campbell, who as a sophomore revisited the medalist podium she graced as a freshman. While her first win was by four shots, she needed a birdie putt on the 18th hole in the final round to edge teammate Freddie Seeholzer. Campbell shot a two-under 70, the best round of the week and also a national tournament record, and finished at 11-over 299, which tied her own record.

The Tars placed five golfers in the field's top six, including third-round leader Marianna De Biasi at 15-over 303 in third place and Ulrika Ljungman in fifth (305). Sabrina Gassner tied for sixth at 307 with Western New Mexico's Kristen Kennedy. Florida Southern's Pamela Feggans tied De Biasi for third.

Rollins shot a tournament-record 44-under 1,196 for the four rounds. Florida Southern and Ferris State tied for second place at 1,246, followed by Northeastern State in fourth at 1,265 and Western Washington in fifth at 1,279.

The Tars opened a 10-shot advantage over Northeastern State in the first round, then stretched the margin to 24 strokes over Ferris State in round two. Their third-round lead ballooned to 44 strokes after a tournament-best 296.

Kim Keyer-Scott of Northern Kentucky was the top individual after round one, shooting an even-par 72. Di Biasi tied for the low round of the second day with a 72 and maintained her lead in round three with a 74.

Campbell overcame an 80 in Thursday's second round to produce a round 10 strokes better on Saturday. She shot a four-under 32 on the back nine to win it.

"All I was thinking was trying to get second," said Campbell, who entered the final round nine strokes behind De Biasi. "We had some team goals left, trying to break 1,200, which we did. But as far as me, second place was it. I did want to shoot under par because no one had."

Campbell birdied Nos. 11, 14 and 15, then hit her approach on 18 within 12 feet.

"It was just a very poor front nine," Campbell said. "I missed a two-footer on No. 5 and I was just so disappointed. I just wanted to play the back nine better."

Seeholzer could have forced a playoff with a birdie on her final hole but settled for a par. She shot 73 for the day, the second best round of the day and her best of the tournament. De Biasi shot a final-round 83 but still tied for third overall.
