The Flying Dutchmen earned the right to host the final two 18-hole rounds of next spring's 54-hole NCAA Division III qualifying tournament. Trine will host the first 18-hole round. Third-place Calvin and fourth-place Adrian also advanced.

Trine won Tuesday's jamboree with a 297. The Thunder was two strokes ahead of Calvin.

Three Hope golfers chipped in 77s to complete Hope's scoring: seniors Ben Lanting of Littleton, Colorado (Front Range Christian HS), and Evan Telzerow of Grand Rapids, Michigan (Forest Hills Northern HS), and sophomore Winton Munch of Traverse City, Michigan (Traverse City Central HS).

Senior Ben Lewis of Grand Haven, Michigan (Grand Haven HS), shot an 81 for the Flying Dutchmen.

After the tournament, Munch was named MIAA MVP and headlined an All-MIAA First Team that included Breit and Lanting. Telzerow made the All-MIAA Second Team.
