Brandon Berry, who was Loyola's top finisher in sixth place, was the last Greyhounds player on the course, and his birdie on the 17^th moved Loyola past the Richmond and into second place.
 
Oregon State, which was ranked 28th nationally by Golfweek entering the week, won the wind-plagued event with a three-round score of 26-over par, while the Greyhounds were one shot better than the Spiders at 58-over. Seton Hall finished fourth, followed by Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Penn and Brown.
