Jameson Keiley rounded out the team score with a 20-over 236 after struggling during the first round when he shot a 13-over 85. The sophomore bounced back and finished the tournament with a 2-over 74 and a 5-over 77.

UNLV's Taylor Montgomery won the tournament after recording a three-round total of 10-under par 206. The Rebels also captured the team title as all five golfers finished inside the top-10 en route to a 26-under 838.
