Junior Tyler Leon finished tied for 18th place at 216 after following his round of 69 yesterday with a closing round of 74.
Senior Zack Robinson, who fired the low round of the tournament with a 66 on Monday, closed out the event with a 79 to finish at 220 and tied for 38th place, while redshirt freshman Jonathan Moore tied for 55th at 224 after a final round of 77.
True freshman Trent Leon rounded out the lineup with a 77 to come in at 10-over 226 and tied for 63rd place.
The Cowboys will return to action on March 10 when they travel to Las Vegas to compete in the Southern Highlands Collegiate.
