La Verne (568) edged out CMS (579) by 11 strokes for the tournament win while Cal Lutheran (596), Redlands (602) and Chapman (613) rounded out the top five teams.
After the first day, La Verne held a four shot lead (277 to 281) over CMS. La Verne then extended its lead by seven strokes in the second round as La Verne shot a 291 in the second round and CMS shot a 298. La Verne's rounds of 277 and 291 were the low rounds of the tournament.
