Freshman Trey Wren tied for 11th overall following a one-under 71 on Sunday to finish with a six-over 150. Sophomore Mark Farley and redshirt freshman John Barone rounded out the Temple scorers with eight-over 152s.

"I am pleased with our effort as our young team continues to get better every day," said Temple head coach Brian Quinn.

Cornell won its three-team invitational with a two-day, seven-under 569. Temple was second (594) with Dartmouth (598) four strokes back in third.

The Owls next travel to the Princeton Invitational on April 9-10.
