VALENTINE, NE. – After entering the final round of play at the Jackrabbit/South Dakota State in sixth-place the Arizona State managed to finish second in a field of 14 teams carding a seven-under par 281. Collectively the Sun Devils posted a three-day total 1-over 865 (304-280-281).

Senior Alberto Sanchez once again led the way for the Sun Devils closing the tournament with a 4-under 72, finishing at 3-under 218 (76-69-68), four shots off the individual medalist.
