"I'm very proud of the way we played, especially given the challenging weather conditions in the first round," said UNCW interim head coach Daniel Bowden. "We hit a lot of great shots on a very demanding golf course and against a perennial top-25 Missouri program."

Missouri led from the start and won the tournament comfortably. UNCW topped third-place Boston College by 14 strokes. St. Peter's and Cleveland State rounded out the top five.

McShea (76-71-68=215) birdied three of the final six holes to rise from sixth into a tie for third during the final round.

Missouri's Hayden Buckley (72-67-70=209) and Rory Franssen (72-68-70=210) finished in first and second, respectively. Buckley edged his teammate by a stroke for medalist honors.

Thomas Eldridge (79-73-69=221) finished the tournament strong with a final round 69 to finish tied for eighth. The top-10 finish was his 11th of his career and he moved into a tie for 10th all-time at UNCW.

Reese McFarlane was the top UNCW individual finisher in the tournament, tying for eighth after carding a three-round total of 221. It was his second career top-10 finish.

"Congratulations to Blake (McShea), Reese (McFarlane) and Thomas (Eldridge) on all placing in the top 10. We're looking forward tour next event in Iowa."
UNCW next competes when it visits Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the Golf Week Challenge hosted by Iowa on Sept. 17-19.
