The event also served as the program's senior match, honoring Aidan Allen, Jacob Fox, and Ty Kuroda.

The Kingsmen posted a two-round score of +17, improving significantly from +12 in the opening round to +5 on day two. They finished only behind No. 24-ranked Pomona-Pitzer in a competitive field.

Cal Lu was led by a trio of top-five finishers, as Kuroda, Jackson Stitt, and Nick Huffman each tied for fourth overall at +3.

Kuroda turned in a steady performance across both rounds with scores of 74 and 73. He closed strong on Tuesday, highlighted by a front-nine 35 that included multiple birdies to climb the leaderboard.
