The Cougars qualified for the tournament held in Joplin, Missouri at the Twin Hills Golf and Country Club after a third place showing in the Region 7 Southeast District Tournament.
"We played in the worst weather we have played in all year," head coach Shannon Skipper said. "40 mph was the winds the first day, we played four hours in a tornado warning, it hailed on us one day and the last day we had 30 mph winds."
After two rounds the top 15 teams advanced to the final two rounds, with Cleveland State just missing the cut finishing in 16th overall of the 22 teams involved.
Three Cougars qualified individually to continue on to the final two rounds. Owen Kreuger finished +17 good for a tie of 41st overall. "Owen shot four under on Thursday for our best score," Skipper said.
Reese Mcfatter came in a tie for 55th at 22 over par and Logan Gadd also made it to the final two rounds coming in a tie at 86th shooting +34.
Andrew McCarver shot a +20 in his two rounds with Kadyn Copeland a stroke behind at +21.
"We are happy to have had the chance of playing in the National Championship Tournament and look forward to going back next year," Skipper said.
