Powered by tournament medalist Eddie Sot's three-under 68, Stevens rolled out to the early lead with a 292 on the opening day, four strokes ahead of the Bullets and five in front of Franklin & Marshall College. The tide turned quickly on Monday with Gettysburg's starting five racking up eight birdies on the front nine, doubling up the effort of the Ducks on the same holes. The Bullets finished with the best final round by 11 strokes over the rest of the field and earned their second tournament win of the fall. Stevens finished second at 592 (292-300) with F&M in third at 595 (297-298).
Gettysburg finished just two strokes off the program record set just over two years ago at the Moravian College Invitational. The Bullets also posted the second-lowest 36-hole score in program history, finishing five strokes shy of the program record of 578 set at the Carnegie Mellon Fall Shootout in 2018.
Sophomore
Cameron Deiuliis (Highland, Md./River Hill) led the Bullets with a 145 (71-74) to finish second, three strokes behind Sot.

He finished with two more birdies on Monday and finished as the tournament leader in scoring on par-4s at one-under.
Freshman
Daniel Suter (Gaithersburg, Md./Milton Academy) dropped his first round score by four strokes and finished third overall at 146 (75-71). He rose nine spots in the standings on the strength of four birdies in the final round. Suter birdied the par-5, 519-yard No. 1 hole on both days.
Senior
Hayden Moffat (Hatboro, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) led the rally on day two by carding a career-low one-under 70, besting his previous collegiate low by four strokes. After standing at nine-over through his first 12 holes, the senior caught fire with back-to-back birdies on No. 15 and No. 16 on the opening day, the first of six birdies in the tournament. Moffat shot three-under over his final 25 holes and posted his final birdie on the par-4, 370-yard 15th. He improved a tournament-best 18 spots in the final round.
Junior
Joseph Furlong (Midland Park, N.J./Midland Park) and senior
Matthew Kalamar (Bethlehem, Pa./Allentown Central) tied for eighth at 149. Furlong shaved five strokes from his first-round score with a 72 on Monday and finished as the tournament leader with 26 pars. Kalamar opened with a career-low 73 and finished with a 76.
