Plus, Northwestern's Romane Lacoste took home medalist honors after closing the third round with birdies on five of the last seven holes.
For Crespo, a freshman from Madrid, Spain, she finished four-over. She was plus-one in the opening rounds before firing a plus-two 74 in the third. Among her highlights, Crespo eagled the 10th hole in the first round and then had several birdies down the stretch in round two.
