The Gray Wolves finished the tournament in 15th place overall with a 36-hole total of 671.

"I was pleased that we showed improvement over Friday," head coach Scott Simon said after the round.  "All four of our scorers had better rounds than yesterday.  This is probably the strongest field we will play all year and we got some valuable experience we can use as the season progresses."

Garfield H.S.) fired an 85 to card 171 for the event.

Nick Flasco (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio/Woodridge H.S.) shot 86 over the 6,980-yard, par-71 layout to improve by three shots from day one, posting 175, while Corey Linser (Toledo, Ohio/Cardinal Stritch H.S.) turned in a 92 to finish at 182.

Indiana Wesleyan won the tournament by 18 strokes over Madonna and Owens Community College with a 36-hole total of 582 (298-284).  Indiana Wesleyan's Tyler Keith won the individual title by one shot over Marty Predmensky of Alma, finishing at one-under par 141 (71-70).
