"Scores are a little higher today, it was raining and kind of cold which made it difficult," said head coach Mike Watney. "We didn't really have a good day, we lost ground to Purdue. We still have a lot of work to do, but we beat all the WAC teams and region teams, which is a positive. I am proud of our top ten guys for sure."
Individually John Streibich from Xavier won the title with a score of 199 and Purdue's Pariya Junhasavasdikul (200) was one stroke behind to take second.
Fresno State returns to action April 13-15 at the ASU Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe, Ariz.
