Morton Bailey led the way for the Bulldogs, capping his final round with a birdie on the par-3 No. 11 to finish with a 5-over 77.  The sophomore had a sluggish start, shooting five over through his first five holes.  However, he found his groove after that, shooting Even par the rest of the way to tie for 25th on the individual leaderboard.
 
Oskari Schuvalow matched Bailey's final-round score, beginning and ending with birdies to card a 77 to finish tied for 50th.  Abel Derksen also tied for 50th, highlighted by birdies on No. 6 and No. 8 in route to a 6-over 78.

QUOTABLES
Head coach Matt Terry

"Maridoe was a grueling test from start to finish.  I thought our guys battled and put together some really good stretches of golf, but this course will expose you if you are not sharp in every area.  As we head into our final regular season event, it is important for us to get back to the basics and clean up a few things."
 
UP NEXT
LA Tech will play its final event of the regular season April 13-14 when the Bulldogs travel to West Point, Mississippi to participate in the Mossy Oak Collegiate.
