None of the 51 golfers shot under par. Freshman Nobuhiko Wakaari of College of the Canyons earned medalist honors with an even-par 72.

Canyons won its first WSC tournament of the season with a total score of 371. SBCC finished second at 382, followed by Ventura (399), Glendale (402), Bakersfield (413), Hancock in sixth (426), Antelope Valley in seventh (451), and Citrus in eighth (474).
