"It'll do nothing but help us," Coach Lee Richter said. "Our guys played really well against the best in the country."

Sophomore Freddy Uribe made his third all-tournament team this spring. He had rounds of 74-72-74 for a total of 220, which tied him for 10th in the individual standings. Joining him on the all-tournament team was Ryan Willis. Willis had rounds of 75-70-75 for a total of 220 also. Willis' second round score of 70 was the team's lowest in the tournament.
