WILLIAMSBURG, VA- Saint Francis shot their best round of the Kingsmill Intercollegiate in Tuesday's final round, led by Austin Renz (Danville, Pa./Danville)' even-par 70.
 
Renz had an up-and-down start to his final round, as he started Tuesday's final 18 with a birdie on 13, his first hole of the day. He followed with a double bogey on 14, a bogey on 16 and then birdies on 17 and 18 to get back to even par. The junior settled into the round, carding a par on seven of the front nine holes. He secured SFU's tourney-leading second eagle on the seventh hole to get to one-under after a bogey on the fourth. He gave one more shot back on the 10^th, but ended the day with the Red Flash's lowest individual score of the tournament and finished a team best 29^th overall.
 
Brandon Mihalo (Windsor, Ontario, Canada/Holy Names Catholic) finished second for the Red Flash at Kingsmill after a four-over 74 on Tuesday to finish in a tie for 34^th at 10-over for the three days. Starting on the 12^th on Tuesday, Mihalo was even through two holes before running into trouble on the final five holes of the back nine. The Ontario native had four bogeys and a birdie on those five holes to make the turn at three-over. Things didn't settle down for the junior as he sandwiched a birdie on the second with a bogey on the first hole and a double bogey on the third. Mihalo got it back to four-over after back-to-back birdies on the ninth and tenth holes, and ended his day with his 74.
 
Ben Morgret (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) continued to improve throughout the tournament as he knocked five shots off Monday's round with a 78 in the final round. The sophomore blitzed out of the gate with two-straight birdies to start the round. He ran into a little trouble on 17 and 18 making the turn after a bogey and triple bogey to fall to two-over for the round. Morgret settled down and parred five of the next seven holes before again running into trouble at the end of the round. Over a three-hole stretch, Morgret carded two bogeys and a double bogey en route to the 78.
 
Dom Stevens (Ebensburg, Pa./Central Cambria) shot a final round 79 to finish the tournament at plus-26. The Ebensburg native avoided big trouble on Tuesday but never found a true groove. The sophomore had 10 bogeys and a birdie on his 18^th hole to shoot the 79. Rounding out the scoring for SFU is graduate student Kurtis Straw (Johnstown, Pa./Bishop McCort) who shot his best round of the tourney with Tuesday's 81.
