Shane Prante fired a 66 and Chris Westrum carded a 68 to lead the Saints over the Lutes.  Derek Siesser, Jared Bouchey and Elijah Perkins all shot 75 on the par 72 course to round out the Saints scorers. 

Prante led the Saints effort in Bakersfield as well with rounds of 76, 73, and 70 on the par 72 course.  Kris Swanson's 68 in the final round was the highlight for the Saints.
