Scheck's Tuesday scorecard included four birdies on the par-72, 6,297-yard Ardea Country Club south course in Oldsmar, Fla.
 
Quinnipiac's Leeyen Peralta took individual medalist honors at two-over 146. Western Michigan won the event with a total of 608 (+32). Butler's 36-hole total came in at 632 (+56). There were a total of 16 teams in the field.
