Today's round of 284 tied the program's eighth-best low round score, while the three-day 865 total was the eighth best low round in program history.
Rounding out the top-five were Tulsa (+8, 872), Delaware (+10, 874) and South Florida (+11, 875).
The Chanticleers will be back in action March 4-5. CCU will travel west to California to play at the Gunrock Invitational hosted by California-Davis. The Invite will be played at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento.
