Sophomore Wyatt Blomseth was one stroke back of Schwan in eighth place (75-82) 157.
Freshman Hunter Burnside finished in 14th place (86-79) 165.
Burnside joined his former Laker teammates after initially signing to play in Arizona at Grand Canyon University. His plans changed due to the ongoing pandemic.
Blomseth earned All-American honors in 2019 and the Spartans placed third at the NJCAA Div. III National Championship.
Last spring’s season was canceled due to COVID-19.
The fall season is under some restrictions. The schedule will consist of four meets and the Region XIII Championship meet has been moved to the Spring.
