With a 14-stroke gap between Victoria and the host Cavaliers, Simpson (298-294-293—885) pulled away from the rest of the field for third place, ending the event with an eight-stroke lead over fourth-place Northwest Christian (304-295-294—893). The Beacons slipped by Simon Fraser (297-296-303—896) for fourth place while Corban (307-303-300—910) defeated College of Idaho (298-314-304—916) by six strokes for sixth place. Warner Pacific (302-301-319—922) rounded out the Cascade Collegiate Conference field in eighth place.
Behind a near course record of 9-under 63 in the opener, UVIK’s Samuel Holland (63-73-72—208) sailed to the individual win. With three straight 2-under 70s, UVIK teammate Jarred Callbeck (70-70-70—210) closed over the final 36 holes to end two strokes behind the medalist.
Heinly shared the day’s lowest round with fellow Cavalier Jed Dalton (76-72-69—217) and Corban’s Joey Duwe (74-72-69—215) to finish in third place and lead all CCC representatives. Northwest Christians Brent McKee (70-73-71—214) led the Beacons by edging Duwe by a single stroke. Dalton entered the clubhouse tied for eighth while NCU’s Tyler Falk (75-71-72—218) cracked the top to by sharing tenth place with Warner Pacific’s Andrew Johnson (72-73-73—218) and CU’s Jared Moe (71-71-76—218).
College of Idaho was led by Mark Baer (74-75-77—26) with a 21st-place result, one stroke ahead of another Coyote in Austen Giesie (75-80-71—226).
