Freshman Jordan Blann landed in 45th place with his three-round total of 230 (77-76-77).

?We obviously have a lot of room for improvement, but considering we went in with a bunch of guys who had pretty limited experience on courses of this caliber, I thought we did ok,? said fifth-year head coach Brian Craig. ?This was a good field and I thought we had a competitive finish. I?m proud of Andy Winings. I thought he had a great college debut, but we?ll just work to get better before we head to the Preview.?

The Wildcats return to action Sept. 26-28 when they travel to Sunriver, Ore., for The Preview, which will be played at Crosswater Golf Course.
