COACH KIRCHER'S COMMENTS
"Our goal for the final round was to win the day, and we went out and shot the low round of the day. Razor thin margins this year from being able to win. Today was really windy with difficult hole locations, and we still executed well. First-year Brayden Dock had a great even par final round to keep us in a good finishing position. Super impressed by Leo and Robbie having top finishes. Justin also bounced back for his final college round. Colgate Golf will miss the seniors that are graduating, and the program is in a better place thanks to their efforts."

- Li had Colgate's best round of the day, firing a 1-under 69 to climb into the top five. The sophomore posted seven birdies on Sunday, including on No. 18 to move under par.
