The Knights concluded the three-day event at the Par 72, 6,805-yard Sawgrass Country Club with a team score of 300 (+12).

Alabama won the event by 10 strokes over fellow SEC-foe Vanderbilt and Coastal Carolina, who tied for second with scores of 891 (+27). The Knights shared fourth with fellow Conference USA member UAB, UCLA and Georgia State.
