Howell carded four birdies in her round and shot 1-under on the front nine.
Seventh-grader Trinity Beth finished tied for sixth place with a 1-over 73. She had a pair of birdies.
Megan Hertter shot a 2-over 74 to finish tied for ninth, and Elsie Riley came in with an 88 that tied her for 35th place. Sarah Umbarger was 44th with a score of 92.
