The Huskies tallied 48 total birdies for the week and finished third in par-5 scoring average with a 4.70, 17-under par total for the tournament.

The Huskies were led by Ben Caton notching back-to-back top-10s, T-5 at The Big Texan, finishing in a tie for 8^th place.

Dabos led the Huskies tallying 13 total birdies for the week including two birdies in the final round with back-to-back birdies at the 10^th and 11^th holes.
