On a course where avoiding big numbers was critical across 54 holes, Prairie View A&M's 1-over finish in the final round gave it the closing momentum needed to secure third.

The all-conference recognition for Melendrez and Meredith added another layer to the week for the Panthers, who paired individual honors with a strong team result at the league championship.
