CSM's Jim Knous tied for ninth place at +4 (77, 71, 72). Elliot Feng tied for 53rd (79, 73, 77; +13), Cory Bacon tied for 58th (76, 75, 79; +14), Chad Herges tied for 76th (76, 77, 82; +19) and Sean Hovelkamp tied for 106th (83, 88, 80; +35).
Knous, a First Team All-RMAC performer in 2009-10, narrowly missed out on an opportunity to qualify as an individual for the NCAA Division II Championships. The top two players from the NCAA Division II West / Central Super Regional (regardless of region) who were not affiliated with one of the top five teams earned the right to compete as individuals at the NCAA Division II Championships.
Colorado Christian University's Jon Klingensmith and Western Washington University's Patrick Boag, who tied for seventh place at +3 (219), claimed those spots. Knous was one of five golfers who were unaffiliated with a top-five team to finish at +4 (220), just one stroke behind both Klingensmith and Boag.
The 2009-10 season marked the Orediggers' first-ever team appearance at the NCAA Division II West / Central Regional.
