Final Results 
San Antonio, Texas — Rice shot a final round 304 to finish 22-over par in 10th-place at the Lone Star Invitational, played at the par-72, 7,247-yard Briggs Ranch Golf Club.
Freshman Jake Benson finished tied for 13th-place, his first career top 20 finish. He posted a final round 72 to finish one-over par. The 72 was his sixth round of par or better this year and his 54-hole score of 217 was a career-low.
Senior Mitchell Meissner and sophomore Nicholas Duggan tied for 34th-place at six-over par. Meissner shot a 78 while Duggan posted a 79.
Senior Mario Carmona tied for 43rd-place at nine-over par and junior Grant Rogers tied for 71st-place at 18-over par. Carmona closed the tournament with a 75 while Rogers carded an 82.
"It's important for us to look at this week and learn from our mistakes," said head coach Justin Emil. "I think mentally we let a course setup get us in a poor mindset during the final round and we can't allow that. I believe in these guys and know they'll put this behind them and work hard these next few weeks leading up to Nashville."
No. 11 Oklahoma won the team competition at 15-under par, 17 strokes in front of second-place Arkansas State. Oklahoma's Brad Dalke earned medalist honors at eight-under par, one stroke in front of Arkansas State's Jakub Bares.
Rice returns to the links in three weeks when it travels to Nashville, Tenn., for the Ryman Hospitality Intercollegiate, April 9-10.
