Williams opened the Final Round with three birdies on his first six holes on the 7,272-yard, par-72 layout. Despite a bogey on No. 8, he rallied with two holes in a three-hole stretch on Nos. 12-14 on the way to the second top-five finish of his career.

As a team, the Cougars lowered their score for the third straight day and finished at 2-under 286 to a two-day total of 862 and tie for third with Sam Houston State.

Lipscomb finished with a team score of 849 to win by eight strokes over Arkansas State.

Individually, Lipscomb's Dawson Armstrong fired a 67 in Tuesday's Final Round to earn medalist honors at 12-under 204. UTSA's Zander Lozano finished second at 208, while Sam Houston State's Jake McCrory finished third at 209.

Senior and 2017 American Athletic Conference Championships medalist Michael Perras enjoyed his third straight round of 72 to tie for 14th at 216. Senior and fellow All-American Athletic Conference performer Papito Gonzalez tied for 22nd at 218, while sophomore Zach Tracy tied for 35th at 221. Freshman Alexander Frances tied for 45th at 224.
