The sophomore won the event with a 1-over-par, 73-71-143, for the tournament, one stroke ahead of Arkansas' Nicolas Echavarria. Go's win is the first individual title by a Seton Hall men's golfer since John Dawson Neufeld won the Rutgers Invitational on Sept. 11, 2010.
Collectively, Seton Hall shot 23 strokes better in round two to shoot up four spots in the standings to third place in the 23-team field. For the tournament, the Pirates were 45-over-par with a 318-295-613 finishing 24 strokes behind Arkansas for the team crown.
