Five of the top six spots were Clarkson golfers, including 'A' team members Eric Spoth (70), Daniel Wilson (71), and Ryan Makowski (72). Spoth was two-over on the front nine, but rallied to shoot 32 on the back nine thanks to five birdies. He was one-under on the par-five 10th, the par-three 14^th, and then finished off the round with three birdies on the 16th, 17th, and 18th holes. Wilson's round saw numerous pars, but he recorded a birdie on the third hole and then on the 13th hole. Makowski, who was named Liberty League Golfer of the Week earlier in the day thanks to his performance this past weekend, ended up even par despite shooting two-over on the front nine. He had a birdie on the 10^th hole and closed strong with three straight birdies on the 16th, 17th, and 18th holes.

Tyler Yakawych shot 79 for the second straight round to close out Clarkson's 'A' team score. He, too, had a slow start, but ended up strong. He shot 41 on the front nine and shot 38 on the back, scoring a birdie on 10 and four pars in his last seven holes.
