Roecker and Lee tied for the individual third place mark, trailing only Georgia Shevitt (77) of Moorpark College and Michaela Klundt (72) of Antelope Valley College.
In the team standings, Santa Barbara City College (322) won the event, followed by Canyons (337) and third place Bakersfield (351).
AVC (359), Moorpark (360) and Citrus (382) ranked four through six to round out the field.
