Murray State had a score line of 291-288-283=862 as they got better as the event progressed a shaved eight shots off their first round score in the final round.

MSU's Austin Knight, a former champion here two years ago, placed third this time around on scores of 71-67-67=209 (7-under), while Connor Coombs placed 12^th on rounds of 75-70-68=213. Avery Edwards was 36^th on scores of 70-75-76=221 and James Boone placed 50^th after rounds os 75-79-72=226. Dalton Bagwell was 53^rd on scores of 78-72-77=227.

Justin Wendling played the event for the Racers as an individual and finished with scores of 72-75-72=219 and had a spot in 27^th place.

UT Martin was the winner at 844, while Austin Peay was second at 847. Belmont (851) and Missouri State (856) placed third and fourth.

UTM's Jack Story was the medalist with a total score of 207, one shot ahead of APSU's Michael Busse and two shots ahead of Murray State's Knight.

The Greystone Golf Club is a par-72 layout and played to a length of 7,000 yards.

The Racers wrap up the fall portion of the 2019-20 season (Oct. 21-22) in Florence, Alabama, at the TVA Community Credit Union Invitational at Turtle Point Country Club.
