"There were a lot of positives today, starting with a strong finish in an elite field for Trevor," said head coach Justin Emil. "He really made a statement today, finishing with a 68 and climbing four spots on the leaderboard. Mario (Carmona) got off to a bad start today going five-over through the first six holes. But, he never gave up and fought his way back to finish even par. That's really big for our team and he showed strong competitive character."
Junior Mario Carmona fired an even par 71 to tie for 54th-place at eight-over par. It is his 10th round of par or better this year and the 23rd of his career.

Added Emil, "Nick also came through for us today. I'm really proud of how he approached today's round, regardless of his score. His perspective was different and it showed in a big way for the team. We have some work to do and I'm confident we will come back strong in Laredo after some of the things we learned about ourselves and our team."
Oklahoma State won the team competition at 29-under par, 10 strokes in front of Baylor. Washington's Corey Pereira earned medalist honors at nine-under par.
