The Highlanders were able to move up a spot in the team standings by tying Campbell at 884. Tenth-ranked Oklahoma ran away with the team title, posting a 15-shot victory over 19th-ranked North Carolina. The Sooners fired an impressive 17-under-par 847 (283-279-285). They were the only team in the 18-team field to shoot in red figures all three rounds. UNC finished at 862, followed by Liberty (876) and Lipscomb (878).
Â
Nick Brediger fueled the Highlanders' charge by tying for 13th at 1-over-par 217 (72-73-72). The Roanoke, Va., native tied for third in par-5 scoring, going 5-under-par. Brediger logged four birdies during his final 18 holes. He finished with a team-high 11 over the two-day tournament.
Â
Also notching a Top-20 performance was Tanner Carbaugh, who tied for 16th at 218 (72-72-74). The senior tied for the best par-3 scoring average in the field at even par.
