KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee held its spot in the final 18 holes of the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate on Tuesday, charting a 12th place finish in a talented field in Knoxville to open the 2016-17 season.
The Blue Raiders carded a 16-over par 300 on the final day of competition to finish at 47-over (302-297-300=899), three strokes ahead of C-USA foe UTSA (302-302-298=902) while also topping Memphis (307-298-299=904) and Virginia Tech (310-296-308=914).
"We didn't play as well as we had hoped today so that we could chase some of the teams ahead of us, but for the first tournament of the season we did okay," Head Coach said.
