The Pirates combined for a final three-round score of 941, 28 shots behind the leader, Indiana University, which finished the tournament at 913. The University of Michigan finished in second place with a score of 928. Michigan finished 16th at the NCAA Championships last season, while Indiana was ranked among the top 40 teams in the nation.
