"Another solid round for the boys today," said Georgia Southern coach
Larry Mays. "All five guys finished inside the top-20 this week, which is what you need to get top finishes. We played right with the No. 6 team in the country all week and came up a little short. We hope to keep the momentum going from our last two outings to our next tournament at Vanderbilt and into the postseason."
Wolfes posted a clean card with four birdies. The junior birdied his first two holes and birdied holes 11 and 14. Anderson also birdied his first two holes and made the turn at 2-under. The senior bogeyed 13, birdied 15 and bogeyed 16.

Mabbett birdied the second and sixth holes but was hurt by a double bogey on hole 3. He was 1-over at the turn and had two bogeys on the back for his 74.
The Eagles return to action at the Mason Rudolph Championships, hosted by Vanderbilt at The Legends Course, April 4-6.
