Liam Brandt, Valdemar Kofod-Olsen, Harrison Browne, Chris Vahey and Hudson Pace joined DiNapoli as individual golfers for Lafayette. Brandt shot a three-over-par 75 to land alongside Dessel in 31st. Kofod-Olsen is in 59th (78), while Browne (80) sits in 74th. Vahey (81st) and Pace (94th) finished with an 81 and 85, respectively.
