WHAT HAPPENED
- Senior Andrew Kolar, who entered 2022-23 with the best career scoring average in the program since 1996-97, did nothing to hurt that average by finishing 71-79-71-221 and in a tie for 12th place individually. Kolar had two birdies on Monday.

- Freshman Carter Mishler's first collegiate tournament ended in a tie for 24th (77-75-74—226) and with third birdies on Monday. Another rookie, Dylan Dunn, tied for 43rd at 81-76-74—231, and he had five birdies in the last round, and sophomore Matthew McMullen was tied for 45th at 79-77-76—232, and had three Monday birdies.
- Individual Eagles on the weekend were sophomore Tyler Gillespie (tied for 51st, 78-79-77—234, one Monday birdie) and senior Nick Stehle (82-withdrew).
