The Wildcats knew heading into last week’s tournament in Mobile, Alabama they were going to have their hands full with teams from the SEC, ACC  and Big-12. But the team was unable to move any higher than 14th during the tournament and shot a total score of 320 in its final round to fall to 15th.

Sophomore Garrett Glanton paced the Wildcats as he finished 6-over-par with a scorecard of 71-74-77, just 12 shots off the tournament champion from Chattanooga.

ACC competitor Louisville took home the team title with an 8-under-par 856, while ACU finished at 57-over-par and total score of 920. Tournament host, South Alabama came in second, just three shots off the lead with a 5-under-par 859. SEC powerhouse, Auburn had won the last four team titles in the Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate, but did not particpate this year.

ACU returned to action on Monday, when it teed off in at the Colin Montgomery Houston Baptist Invitational. The 13-team field consists of  tournament host Houston Baptist, as well as Bradley, Central Arkansas, Incarnate Word, Nebraska-Omaha, Nicholls State, South Dakota, Stephen F.

This will be the second time this spring the Wildcats will see fellow Southland Conference competitors. In its first tournament of the new season ACU finished behind Incarnate Word and ahead of New Orleans.
