York shot a two-day total of 581. York's single round total was the lowest cumulative score in school history, besting the 282 the Spartans shot in the opening round of the Montgomery Cup Championship at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort on September 22, 2017.

Trinity (CT) won the tournament with a score of 565 (-3). Rochester finished second at 573 (+5) while RPI was third at 579 (+11) followed by the Spartans and Diplomats.

On Saturday, Ganter had three bogeys, one birdie and 14 pars in his two-over-par 73. On Sunday, he started off hot and stayed that way through 18 holes. Ganter started off four-under through seven holes. He had his only stumble of the day with a bogey on eight but he finished the opening nine with a par for the three-under 33. He started the back nine with a birdie on ten before recording five straight pars. He torched the final three holes of his round with three straight birdies to shoot a four-under 31 on the back. Ganter's 64 was the best round in the tournament. He finished two strokes back of Hamilton's Ramon Aroca Gonzalez who shot a 67 and 68 for a tournament score of 135.

Ganter now owns the single round school record, breaking Casey Leebrick's five-under-par 67 at the opening round of the Montgomery Cup on September 22, 2018.
