With Sunday's round of 11-under 269, the Bulldogs finished at 816 (-24). That shaved eight shots off the lead that host Ball State carried into Sunday, but the Cardinals were able to hold on to capture the team title at 813 (-27). There were 13 teams in the field.
 
Four Bulldogs finished among the Top 20 individually, led by Derek Tabor. Tabor placed in a tie for third at nine-under 201.

Tabor's 65 tied for the low round Sunday.
 
Logan Sutto and Leo Zurovac also made Sunday climbs behind strong rounds. Sutto's four-under 66 moved him into a tie for tenth at five-under 205, joining teammate Marius Reiersen. Zurovac moved 12 spots up the leaderboard behind a Sunday 68. He finished in a tie for 15^th at 208 (-2).
