Senior Nate McCoy led the team, tying for 14th place by shooting a total of 297. McCoy got more comfortable with his game as the round went on and finished the tournament shooting a 70 on the final round.
Finishing his career at Iowa State, McCoy was named to the All-Big 12 first-team, which gives him an automatic bid in playing in the NCAA Regionals as an individual.
