The WolfPack shot 341 and placed ninth at the event hosted by Lake Forest College, and improved by 20 strokes and one place with a 321 score and eighth place finish at the Wisconsin Lutheran College event. Freshmen Jake Rebholz and Tyler Dahl tied for team-high honors with rounds of 84 to begin the weekend, with Rebholz then producing a career-best 76 to cap the weekend.

Conditions for the weekend's second round lessened slightly, and Madison College took advantage to amass its best score of the spring and fifth-best team score in 2021-22.

Rebholz, a native of Verona, Wisconsin, used three birdies and nine pars to net the career-best round of four-over-par 76. He tied for tenth overall to mark his first career top-ten finish. The tournament medalist was just five shots better as MSOE's Garrett Schultz.

Tyler Dahl was second on the team with his first sub-80 round of the spring at seven-over-par 79. The product of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, tied for 24th after netting a dozen pars.

One day after best round of the season, Darris Schuett did five better with a nine-over-par 81 that featured a birdie and eight pars. He tied for 32nd overall. Matt Paulson finished out the team's scoring with a tie for 51st at 85 (+13), which counted nine pars.
