Farrell's scores of 76, 80 and 73 for a total of 229 (13 over par for the 6,983yd course) helped Marquette (899) to win the team title in a very tight finish with Seton Hall (900) with Georgetown (901) third and DePaul 908) fourth in a competitive field of nine teams.

Marquette also provided the individual winner, Matt Bachmann with scores of 73, 71 and 72 for level par 216.

Two Seton Hall students from the Philippines finished joint second on 218 - Lloyd Jefferson Go (76-70-72) and Gen Nagai (72-73-73).
