BREMERTON, Wash. – Solid final rounds from Issey Tanimura and Tyce Helmick helped Oregon Tech maintain a sixth-place finish in the second Cascade Conference event of the season, the UBC Invitational at Gold Mountain Golf Club.
 
The Hustlin' Owls (308-301-309 – 918) finished the tournament 77 strokes behind team champion, British Columbia (282-281-278 – 841) – who established a new CCC 54-hole scoring record at 23-under-par. Ottawa of Arizona (285-282-286 – 853) placed second with the University of Victoria (296-281-291 – 868) in third.
 
Tanimura (74-75-74 – 223) was the top finisher for Tech, placing 16th overall – carding the Owls low-round of the day at 2-over-par. Helmick (89-80-75 – 244) rebounded from a tough Monday to post his lowest round of the fall season.
 
"Issey was very steady throughout," said OIT head coach Dave Myers. "We need to get more consistent play from the balance of the roster."
 
Jack Tieman (76-71-81 – 228) placed 27th, the only other OIT player in the Top-30. Tyler Vassar (81-75-79 – 235) and Kade Bracken (77-83-83 – 243) rounded out the Tech players.
 
UBC's Dylan Macdonald (68-67-64 – 199) earned medalist honors, tying the CCC single-round scoring record with an 8-under-par 64 today, with his 54-hole score one off the league mark.
 
The event closes out the first half of the schedule, with Tech returning to the course in March.
