Myers established a new career-low record for himself with his 72 as he bested his previous record by four strokes. After bogies on the second and sixth holes, the sophomore was steady the rest of the way as ended the round making par on the final 13-straight holes. Velez posted bogies on his first two holes, but went on to par the rest of the front nine. The junior also posted bogies on two of the first four holes on the back nine, but made up for it with birdies on 16 and 18 to capture his third top-five performance this season.

Junior Matthew Salter nabbed his fourth top-10 performance of the fall as she shot a 74 (+4) to finish 10th. Salter bookended both his front and back nine rounds with bogies and shot nothing but par in between.

Sophomore Jacob Fripp finished tied for 14th as he fired a 75 (+5). Fripp shook off a bogey on the first hole and went on to par the rest of the front nine. The sophomore finished four over on the back nine as hit par on five holes.

Freshman Thomas O'Connell shot 81 (+11) to finish in 39th place. The rookie shot six-over on the front nine before picking up a stroke on the back nine as he shot even on six of the final nine holes.
