"This was not the finish to the year we were looking for," said head coach Scott Schroeder. "The guys competed extremely hard but unfortunately we just didn't play well the last six holes. That's the pressure that playing in Regionals creates so hopefully we will learn from it and be better down the road."

No.1-ranked and top-seeded Stanford claimed the regional team title posting a three-round 833. No. 24 Oregon finished second at 847 with No. 37 UAB (857), No. 13 California (862) and No. 12 Wake Forest (863) rounding out the list of NCAA Championship qualifiers.

Stanford's Franklin Huang earned the individual medalist crown with a score of 12-under 204, while UC Riverside's Matt Lutz finished third and earned the individual qualifying invitation to the NCAA Championships.

North Florida concluded another successful season that saw the squad post 10 Top 10 finishes and participated in the program's seventh consecutive NCAA Regional.
