NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Junior Josh Brock carded a final round 69, but UNCW was unable to carry its momentum from the second round and finished 10th at the New Haven Regional of the NCAA Men's Golf Championship on Saturday at The Course at Yale.

"We competed as hard and as well as we could today," said Head Coach Matt Clark, who completed his second season with the program. "I'm proud of how our guys went out and played as hard as they could, they left it on the course. If we were able to get some shots here or there it could have been a different story. It was a great experience for us as a program."

Texas (274-281-280=835) and Kent State (277-278-280=835) tied for medalist honors and both advanced to next week's national championship in Chattanooga, Tenn. Joining the Longhorns and Golden Flash in advancing were UCLA (282-281-273=836), Penn State (277-283-277=837) and Virginia (282-283-278=843).

UNCW (286-280-285=851) finished one stroke behind ninth-place Alabama (281-290-279=850).

Freshman Stefan Brewer (72-69-71=212) went one-over-par in the final round, but topped the Seahawks with a 213 tournament total. Brewer finished tied for 29th, the lowest for a Seahawk in four NCAA tournament appearances.

Brock, meanwhile, closed out the tournament with his career-best tournament round. Brock (73-71-69=213), who shaved two strokes each round off his previous round, tied for 33rd.

Junior Ryan Sullivan (70-77-71=218) returned to his first round form, carding a 71 on Saturday. Sullivan jumped up the standings to place in a tie for 53rd.

Rounding out the UNCW lineup were Derek Wallace (72-70-74=218) who was tied for 53rd and freshman Thomas Bass (72-70-80=222) was tied for 58th.
