Rochester, one of 14 teams at the event that were ranked in the most recent Bushnell/Golfweek NCAA Division III Coaches' Poll, shot a 308, 20-over, in round three to finish 16th overall.
 
Fowles was URochester's top golfer in round three, shooting two-under, the fourth-best score in the round, to finish at five-over for the tournament, good for a tie for 12th place. Fowles tied for a team-high five birdies in round three, birdying the par-five, 18th hole after starting on 15, and then adding birdies on two, three, and six on the front nine, before coming back around with a birdie on his final hole, the par-three, 158-yard 14th hole.
 
Henry Zhong and Arjun Aujla both shot seven-over in round three, with Zhong closing out his 54 holes at 24-over, while Aujla came in at 28-over for the invitational.

Individually, Carnegie Mellon's Joshua Wang finished atop the individual leaderboard at three-under, one of just four players at an even-par or better.
