Derby fired a final-round 69 with five birdies to finish the tournament at 1-under par, while Rainey carded rounds of 70, 71 and 74 (-1). Freshman Michael Sass (Louisville, Ky.) shot a final-round 72.
 
As a team, the Cougars placed 10th (+22) overall in a field comprised of four Top 50-ranked teams including host Pepperdine, No. 48, which won the team title (-21). No. 6-ranked Southern Cal was runner-up at -5.
 
"We were close to having a good tournament," CofC Head Coach Mark McEntire said. "I was happy with the play from William (Rainey) and Parker (Derby). We also got a great final round from Michael Sass. We have a few weeks off before the Schenkel and want to keep improving. I love this team."
 
The Cougars will take a break from tournament play and return to action at The Schenkel hosted by Georgia Southern on March 17-19 at the Forest Heights Country Club in Statesboro, Ga.
