Edwin Blomander (T10) posted his best showing of the season. Freshman
Henric Bjelke (T16) earned a fourth-consecutive top-25 performance.
Seton Hall (282-282-294—858) won top honors at 6-under par in the 20-team field, four stroke better than South Carolina (289-282-291—862). The College of Charleston (288-284-292—864) and Florida State (289-279-296—864) tied for third at even par, followed by Virginia (291-281-298—870) and Campbell (294-288-290—872).
The Camels placed ahead of six other Big South Conference schools in their final event of the fall schedule.
