Player Notes
- While Garrant and Powers were putting together two of the best rounds of their careers, junior Jeffrey Peters was steady again and represented the Peacocks' top finisher after shooting even-par 70 for Sunday's third and final round. His two-day, three-round score of two-over-par 212 was good enough to tie for 11th on the individual leaderboard. He birdied three times on Sunday and bogeyed just twice.
- Garrant, who started the morning in a tie for 22nd place, cut seven strokes off his second round scorecard after shooting two-under 68 on Sunday; that surge sent him into the top-20 for the tournament. Three birdies compared to just one bogey paved the way for the senior's stellar finish.
- It was Powers who perhaps one of the best showings by any player in the tournament on Sunday, shooting a six-under 64 that represented the lowest single-round score by any player in the tournament field for the entire weekend. That incredible finish saw him shoot up from 65th place to inside the top-25. The Glen Spey, New York, native posted a phenomenal seven birdies while bogeying once on Sunday.
- Sophomore Melvin Morales bounced back from a middle-round 76 by shooting one-over 71 on Sunday, which matched his opening round score for his best 18-hole showing of the tournament. He moved up five spots to finish tied for 30th on the weekend.
- Finally, redshirt freshman Caleb Rossi rounded out the Saint Peter's contingent by shooting 76, carding a three-round score of 13-over 223.
