"Bringing together such a strong field from top to bottom was very rewarding.  Teams from California, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and other states started the weekend with a tour at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and finished it under sunny skies at Firestone,"  Head Coach Jeff Pawlowski '91 stated.

Justy VonLehmden enjoyed a marvelous tournament coming up just short of medalist honors. The Findlay native carded four birdies in the first round for a good start of 73. The Saint John's Jesuit grad continued his excellent work in his second 18 holes on Monday, with a remarkable eagle on No. 18, a phenomenal effort that was part of a four-under-par (68) round. The senior birdied No. 5 to start his Tuesday round, and though he cooled off a bit on Tuesday, he still finished with a score of 72. 

Austin Malley's strong work on holes No. 13-18 each day helped him secure a spot in the top 10. The senior eagled No. 18 in his first round and birdied five of his last seven holes in his second round. Good work on Tuesday, highlighted by birdies on No. 16 and 18, helped him finish in eighth place. Malley concluded with a line of 74-73-73 (+4). 

Daniel Donahue tallied four birdies in his final nine holes of the first round, roaring into the second round with momentum. The veteran cooled off a bit in the second and third rounds, but remained steady enough to card a 16th place finish with a final mark of eight-over par. Back-to-back birdies on No. 14 and No. 15 stood out for the senior. 

Wade Boyle experienced some difficulties in the first 18 but settled in during his second round on Monday with four birdies to buoy the Blue Streaks. The Greensburg, Pennsylvania native birdied No. 10 and 18 to help him card a one-over-par in his Tuesday round, his best one. Finishing at 10-over-par for the event, Boyle finished in 18th place. 

London Hoyser rounded out the crew. The senior shot an 81 to start before firing up three birdies in his first nine of the second round, earning his best score of the event with a 76. The veteran finished with a 79 in the final round. 
 
Two Blue Streaks competed as individuals – Kamden Mowry and Owen Tehan. A trio of birdies in the second round helped to steady Mowry. The senior finished with a final line of 75-78-75 to get to 12-over-par. Tehan carded a scoreline of 81-81-76, as a beautiful eagle on No. 18 helped to boost his score.
