UTEP's Martin Simonsen won the individual title with a 12-under-par 204 total, one shot ahead of a three-way tie for second place.
Tsujimoto was UC Riverside's top finisher, tying for 16th place with scores of 69-73-72 (214). David Gazzolo (71-74-75) and Gillis (76-75-70) were one stroke apart at 220 and 221 respectively to tie for 34th and 40th.
Semthiti tied for 64th place with a 227 (79-76-72) while Leven Simon Seay tied for 77th with 73-80-78 (231).
