The Explorers ended the first day of competition sitting in eighth place overall. The team shot a 302 (+14), and led early on in the day, but fell back as the day proceeded. Benjamin Battye sat atop the leaders for La Salle as he finished the day in a tie for 20^th place after his 74 (+2).
 
Day two ended up being the highest score of the three days for La Salle, however the end result of the day was the highest in the tournament as they sat in seventh place with a 306 (+18). Perhaps the highlight of the day and of the tournament overall was on the 17^th hole late in the day. The par-three 161-yard 17^th hole proved to be nothing for Romanov as he drilled the lone ace of the tournament. This helped him end his day two sitting in a tie for 11^th place. He shot a 70 (-2) on day two and had a 146 (+2) through both days.
 
The final day proved to be the best overall for La Salle as a team as they ended the day shooting a 295 (+7) on the day. Romanov continued his success shooting a par-72 on the third day of competition, while sophomore Kevin Lydon performed strong ending his third round with a 67 (-5)
