The Eagles trailed by three shots, but got an eagle from Blythe and birdies from Adamson and Erlenkeuser on 18 to move back into a tie with the Yellow Jackets, but the hosts got two pars late to inch ahead and win by one stroke.

Words From Coach Carter Collins: "I couldn't be more proud of the team this week. It was our first trip to this elite event and they played great from beginning to end. They continue to show that we are one of the best teams in the country. We had contributions from all five guys and they had each others' backs each round. Great playing, resiliency and grit! The future is bright and spring can't get here soon enough, Hail Southern!"
