John Weis closed out USF's first-team scoring with his 76 to place just outside the top ten finishers with his 11th-place showing.
As a team, USF registered a 298, 14 strokes over par. That was two strokes better than Aurora University, which carded a 300. USF's second team was third at 311. A total of six teams made up the field.
In terms of individual play, Aurora's Christian Wakeford edged out DePaul University's Alex Vekich on a tie-breaker to claim medalist honors among a field of 38 participants.
