The Carroll Men finished the tournament in fourth place as a team, with a three-day total of 943 (320, 313, 310). 

Capping-off an impressive first time competing at a conference championship, Kyle Kennah (Laurel, Mont. / FR) fired a final round 78 to lead the Saints on the week with a 12th place finish in the individual portion of the event.
