CHOUDRANT, La. - UNC Greensboro improved by 10 shots on its two rounds from yesterday with a final round 296, moving up to 15th at the Louisiana Tech / Squire Creek Classic.

Sophomore Colin Chapman carded an even-par 72 for the team's low round of the day. Freshman Robert Hoadley, who shot a 72 in Monday's second round, finished off the tournament with a 73 in Tuesday's final round. UNCG finished with a team score of 908 in the tournament.

Southeastern Louisiana's Cedric Scotto held on to win the individual title by one shot over the New Orleans duo of Ken Looper and Sebastian Szirmak. Scotto shot a 72 on Tuesday to finish the tournament at six-under par 210.
