Karsten Hansen checked in at 13th with a score of +10 over two rounds, after shooting +3 on the first day of play.

Hansen and Phillips anchored the men's squad as they finished sixth out of eight teams, surpassing Walla Walla and Southern Oregon's B team.

The women's team saw three Red Hawks place in the top 20 to earn a sixth-place finish out of seven teams. Aria Landes led the charge with a strong second round of play that helped push her into 17th place.

Katelyn Cassinelli finished right behind Landes in 18th place, coming in just one stroke back. Madelyn Handley rounded out the top-20 finishes by checking in at 19th.
