St. Ambrose was in the hunt for team and individual conference championships over both days before settling for a third-place finish at the CCAC Championships at Cinder Ridge Golf Course in Wilmington, Ill.

In what became a three-team race, the Bees fell a little short. Roosevelt, which had slipped into second place following Monday's second round, rallied with a final-round 309 to claim its third straight conference crown. The Lakers shot a 942 (322-311-309). Holy Cross finished just four shots back, firing a 946 (324-308-314). SAU was within striking distance after each round before ultimately claiming third place. The Bees finished 10 shots behind the Lakers with a 952 (326-309-317).

Two Bees were in the chase for individual medalist honors.

Owen Hultman held an early lead, carding a 74 to begin play Monday morning. He followed that with a 77 later Monday to hold a one-shot lead over teammate Dylan McAleer entering Tuesday's final round. McAleer climbed the leaderboard with a second-round 72, which proved to be the best round of the tournament. That followed an 80 to put him in second place.

Both Bees slipped Tuesday. McAleer finished with another 80 for a 232 while Hultman came in with an 82 for a 233 total. That left them in fourth and fifth, respectively, and part of the CCAC Championship All-Tournament Team.

Matthew Politte of Holy Cross won medalist honors on a second playoff hole. He tied Jared Tjelmeland of Roosevelt with 230s. Carter Silva of Holy Cross finished third with a 231.

SAU's Jared Tigges made a move Tuesday. After opening with rounds of 86 and 82 Monday, he came back with a 76 Tuesday to finish with a 244. That gave him a tie for 15th. Hunter Mettille shot rounds of 86-78-89 for a 253 to tie for 26th. Jacob Rude played one round in the fifth spot for the Bees and fired an 88 before Reid Calvert played the final two rounds, shooting an 85 and a 79.
