> Drexel's Tafadzwa Nyamukondiwa shot a three-under 137 to win the tournament by one stroke over Sacred Heart's Marcus Lim.
Quotable: Head coach Brian Quinn
> "It is always a privilege to play at Yale Golf Course. The greens were in tough shape and unfortunately, as a team, we really struggled at putting. I'm always proud of my team and how they competed."
> "Dawson exemplified Temple Tough this week as he played in a lot of discomfort with a serious shoulder injury. He dislocated it on Thursday and was still able to perform at a very competitive level for us today."
Up Next
> Temple travels to Brooksville, Fla. for the American Athletic Conference Championship at the Southern Hills Plantation on April 22-24.
