Bremerton, Wash. - Nebraska senior Brandon Crick's collegiate career came to an end Saturday with a tie-for-eighth finish at the NCAA West Regional at the Gold Mountain Golf Club Olympic Course. Crick carded a final round of 73 to finish at 215 (-1) for the tournament.
Richard Lee of Washington captured the individual title at 208 (-8) to lead the Huskies to the team title with an 844 (-20) team score. Teammate Chris Williams, aided by a hole-in-one on No. 8, finished second at 210 (-6).
Denver's Espen Kofstad tied for third and captured the individual berth in the NCAA Championships set for June 1-6. Kofstad recorded a 211 (-5) to edge VCU's Lanto Griffin by two strokes for the individual spot.
Crick ended his season with a 72.23 stroke average, just shy of the school record 72.17 average set by Jamie Rogers in 1999.
