UConn seniors Jimmy Hervol (Hopkinton, Mass.) and Nick Harrington (Chaplin, Conn.) led the UConn effort, tying for eighth place – the fifth Top 10 finish for Hervol this year and the second for Harrington.
Hervol shot a 1-under 70-70-75=215, his 11th and 12th rounds of par or better this year, upping his career total to 54. He has a career total of 1 8 Top 10 finishes.

Also for the Huskies, redshirt junior Drake Hull (Rutland, Vt.) and junior Tim Umphrey (Northborough, Mass.) tied for 20th place, each shooting a 2-over 218.
Hull's 74-73-71=218 gives him five Top 20 finishes this year and 11 rounds of par-or better. Umphrey's 72-71-75=218 was his second Top 20 and added his fourth round of par-or-better.
Rounding out the UConn team contingent was senior Nabeel Khan (Westerville, Ohio), who tied for 26th place with a 5-over, 74-72-75=221, which included his fourth round of par-or-better this season.
