Â
The Trojans, in pursuit of their 21st straight trip to the NCAA Championships finals, combined for a 3-under 285, six back of first-place Virginia and two behind second-place No. 4 Duke in the 18-team region in which the top six teams will advance.

Â
Garvey carded her best round in Cardinal and Gold with a three-birdie day to tie for seventh. She was 2-under going out and even coming in.
