LAREDO — Behind top-10 finishes from Zander Lozano and Adam House, the UTSA men's golf team took third place at the Border Olympics, which wrapped up on Saturday at Laredo Country Club (par 72/7,204 yards).
Lozano tied for sixth and House finished in a three-way tie for eighth to lead the Roadrunners to an 11-under-par 565 (283-282), which was good for third in the 19-team field. UTSA was just one shot behind Houston (564) and six back of team champion Campbell (559) in the tournament that was shortened to 36 holes due to stormy weather on Friday afternoon.
Lozano followed Friday's 71 with a 4-under 68 on Saturday in registering his ninth career top 10 with a 5-under 139. The junior from Fair Oaks Ranch wrote down seven of his team-high 10 birdies in the final round to help counter a triple bogey on the par-4 third. The 68 was his eighth sub-70 scorecard of the season and program-record 14th of his career, breaking Gibby Martens' standard of 13 set from 1999 to 2002.
Meanwhile, House turned in a season-best 3-under 69 that featured five birdies, including a two on the 168-yard 14th. The freshman from Rockwall carded a 4-under 140 (71-69) to easily better his previous top collegiate finish of 29th with his first top 10.
Collin Clark was just two shots behind his fellow freshman teammate with a 2-under 142. The Mansfield product posted a pair of 71s to tie for 14th, his second straight top-15 showing.
Bryce Alley tied for 27th with an even-par 144. The senior from Longview recorded a 70-74—144 on the strength of six birdies.
Sean Meehan rounded out the UTSA lineup in 87th after turning in a 71-82—153.
UTSA's third-place finish was its second top-three effort of the season. The Roadrunners were comfortably ahead of fourth-place Bowling Green (571), while Little Rock and McNeese State finished in a tie for fifth (573).
Mike Colgate of Nebraska captured individual medalist honors with a 9-under 135 (66-69).
The Roadrunners will host the Lone Star Invitational on Monday-Tuesday, March 20-21, at Briggs Ranch Golf Club.
