"Well, it all came down to a 12-foot putt from Nazarene's No. 3 player to make this weekend bittersweet," head coach Tyler Wollberg said. "Even though we lost the match, I'm very proud of how we played this week.  We played a new format and adjusted well to it.  We're moving in the right direction with many great things to come."
 
Junior Steven Sanicki capped off a brilliant 3-0 week by shooting a 73 to beat his opponent by six strokes and finish with the second best individual total of the week. He shot a career-low 68 in the opening match, then followed that up with a 74 to win again on Monday. The Rangers' other victory came from redshirt-Matt Unger, who finished with a 73 to win by two strokes. Junior Danny Sanicki was defeated 77-76, senior Chase Fisk went down 77-75 and senior Raymond Cordova fell 80-78.
