Originally scheduled for 54 holes over two days, the tournament was shortened to 36 holes with 18 holes on Friday and the final 18 holes Saturday. However, additional rain forced play to be suspended at 4:10 p.m., Friday.
The First Round resumed at early Saturday morning with continuous play proceeding into the Second and final round.
Perras finished the First Round with a score of 67, thanks to six birdies and only one bogey. In the Second Round, the Deer Park, Texas, native drained an eagle his second hole of the round and used a steady round with only one birdie and one bogey for the rest of the day.
As a team the Cougars posted back-to-back sub-par rounds with scores of 283 and 281 to finish with a total of 564. Baylor captured the team championship with a score of 556 with Rice (567), Sam Houston State (569) and Louisiana-Lafayette (569) following the Cougars.
McNeese State (572) Sacramento State (574), UTSA (577) Texas State (577) and Notre Dame (579) rounded out the top-10 team leaders.
Perras was one of four Cougars to finish among the top-14 individual leaders. Senior All-American Blair Hamilton opened the tournament with a 68 in the First Round. Standing at 2-over-par through 12 holes, the Burlington, Ontario, Canada, capped his first round with six consecutive birdies.
Hamilton drained three birdies in the Final Round on the way to a 71 and tied for sixth at 139.
