“I couldn’t be more thrilled over the performance of the men’s team,” said Westmont head coach Tom Knecht. “As a first-year program, to take second place in a talented field on a course of this difficulty says that they know how to compete. We finished with the best team score in both the first and third round.”

On the women’s side, Westmont finished last of the six teams.
