AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. - Senior Blake Brothers finished the tournament at 10-under-par 206 following a final round 71 and tied for second place as the 52nd annual Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational concluded Sunday at the Academy's Eisenhower Blue Course.
Brothers, who began the day alone in second place, had four more birdies on Sunday giving him 18 over three rounds. Beginning his day on the No. 10 tee, Brothers had a pair of birdies and seven pars on his front nine to make the turn at two-under. He then made bogey on his first three holes to drop to one-over. Brothers bounced back with two birdies and four pars down the stretch to finish at one-under 71 for the round and 10-under 206, five shots behind winner Thomas Hutchison of UC Davis.
Brothers, who tied for second with Reese Fisher of Weber State, posted his fourth career top-five showing in 15 career tournaments at CSUN.
As a team, CSUN posted its best round of the tournament Sunday with a final round 290. The Matadors were 11th after an opening-round 298 before posting a 293 on Saturday. At (+17) 881, CSUN finished 12th in the 21-team field. UC Davis (831) led from start to finish in claiming the team title.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"Blake had a very good tournament; he hit the ball well and was very consistent. As a team we played better today just didn't get a fourth score but I know that all the guys on this team are capable of posting low numbers. We'll have a couple of weeks to work on some things and are looking forward to Fresno State's tournament."
CSUN will have two weeks off from tournament play before teeing it up at the Nick Watney Invitational at San Joaquin Country Club in Fresno (Sept, 27-28).
