The Defenders had a nine stroke improvement under near-perfect conditions to advance to the NAIA Region III tournament next week in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Dordt was led by Jordan Janz and Jason Kroese who carded a 151 and a 152 respectively for eighth place and ninth place. Collin Broekhuis had a 156 while Jared Rempel recovered from an 84 on Monday to record a 75 on day two for a two-day total of 159. Matt Zwart shot a 161 over the 36 hole event. The top four scores were counted each day with the fifth score knocked out. Top-ten finishers at the conference meet are automatic all-GPAC selections.

Dordt advances to the regional meet for the third year in a row and will be joined at the event by the GPAC champion Dakota Wesleyan. The Tigers shot a 602. Hastings, Midland Lutheran and Sioux Falls are the other GPAC qualifiers with Nebraska Wesleyan competing in the post-season in NCAA Division III.
