Schorr's 67 in round three was the best individual score in the final round of action as he scorched his way into a tie for second place after entering the day tied for 25th.

Galdin held the lead with nine holes left and finished as the highest individual player in the field. Tyler Copp, who shot an even 71 Tuesday to move up eight spots, tied with teammates Nolan Miller at 28th. Both Kiko Rosete and Brennan Bogdanovich improved upon Monday's efforts with three-over-par 74 and one-over-par 71 performances.

Coach Kayden's Take
"We were much improved today as we shot even par for round three," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "Stanton led us with his 67 and our four other scores that counted included 71 from Tyler, 72 from Brennan and 74 from Kiko.

"Plenty of improvement shown, we just have to get off to a better start and we'll be in good shape for upcoming tournaments. I'm proud of the individual efforts by Stanton and Lino all tournament as they flirted with the lead today."

Up Next
The Bears will quickly return to action with the Inverness Invitational, hosted by Toledo at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. The tournament will be on Sept. 18-19. Mercer departs north on Saturday, Sept. 16 in preparation.

Kayden on the Inverness Invitational:
"We will use our solid finish in Hattiesburg as confidence moving into next weekend at Inverness. We'll be facing a highly-ranked field on a PGA Tour-level golf course that will test our ability to get off to a stronger start."
