The Bulldogs were 26-over-par (293-298-299-890) for the three-round, 54-hole stroke play tournament, finishing just two strokes behind Middle Tennessee and Old Dominion's matching 24-over-par 888 score. LA Tech edged UTSA by three strokes as the Roadrunners were 29-over-par 893.

All 13 teams carded over-par scores Tuesday admist cold temperatures, 10-12 mile per hour winds and off-and-on rain throughout the day.

Victor Lange was the top finisher for Louisiana Tech as he tied for 13th at 3-over-par (72-73-74=219) for the tournament after a 2-over-par 74 performance Tuesday.

Ben Robinson posted his best single-round score in a conference championship event as his even-par 72 led the team on the day. He finished the tournament at tied for 23rd as he jumped 18 spots with a final card of 6-over-par (73-77-72=222).

Jake Pritchard was off to a solid start Tuesday as he was an even-par through nine holes (Louisiana Tech started play Tuesday on Hole No. 10) but struggled after the turn, finishing 7-over-par 79 on the day. The junior finished the tournament at 12-over-par (74-75-79), placing tied for 47th.

Mitchell Haddox tied for 53rd as he carded 13-over-par (74-73-82=229) for the tournament. After two solid rounds, the redshirt freshman struggled over the final 18 holes with a 10-over-par round Tuesday.

John Lewis Sams finished strong with a 2-over-par performance Tuesday, six strokes better than Monday's round for the sophomore. That improvement moved Sams up three spots as he placed 60th overall at 15-over-par (77-80-74=231).

While the team's season is likely complete, Lange awaits a potential at-large selection to the NCAA Regionals. Last season Lange was selected for an at-large Regional spot as he was ranked 171st in the country, becoming the first Bulldog to receive a regional bid. The junior entered the C-USA Championship ranked 76th in the country and is likely to receive an at-large bid for the second consecutive year.
