NORMAN, Okla. - The IUPUI men's golf team put up a final round 311 and finished the record breaking 2011-12 season with a 12th place finish at the NCAA Norman Regional at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club. IUPUI closed the three-day event at 915, placing 12 shots behind Sacramento State. The Jaguars finished seven strokes ahead of the nation's No. 49 ranked team, Middle Tennessee State.

Washington won the regional with a 4-under 860 while Texas, Florida State, Illinois and host Oklahoma all finished in the top five to advance to the NCAA Championships to be played in Pacific Palisades, Calif. later this month. Washington's Chris Williams, ranked No. 7 nationally, earned medalist honors at 209 (73-68-68) while Illinois' Thomas Pieters was second at 6-under 210.

On a day when three of the program's best players teed it up for the final time in an IUPUI uniform, sophomore Jose Pablo Segurola put together the best round with a final day 73. The Spaniard opened with a birdie and stayed at 1-under until back-to-back bogeys on 15 and 16 pushed him to 1-over. Segurola closed his first nine with a birdie on 18 and got another shot back with a birdie on the par-4 No. 4. However, a double bogey on No. 5 and a bogey on No. 7 pushed him to 2-over before he finished with a birdie and par.

For the second straight day, high winds gave the field fits and made scoring difficult.

Senior Ben Engle was in the hunt for one of the five individual spots heading to the NCAA Championships and began his final round with a birdie on No. 10. However, a triple bogey on No. 11 and a double bogey on No. 14 moved him to 4-over. The veteran showed some moxie with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 and finished his day at 77 (+5). Engle was the team's top finisher, tying for 31st overall at 224 (74-73-77).

Behind him, Michael Powell closed his final IUPUI tournament at 230 (75-77-78) and classmate Michael Davan came in at 237 (74-78-85). Davan finished his final season with a school record 72.61 scoring average and became the second straight Jaguar to earn Summit League Championship MVP honors.

Sophomore Rob van de Vin rounded out the lineup at 241 (74-84-83) this week.

This year's group set a school record with seven tournament titles and had four players earn All-Summit League honors. Collectively, the Jaguars defeated almost 81 percent of their opponents this year with a 142-33-3 record.  IUPUI also posted a school record 293.15 scoring average, easily outdistancing the record set a year ago by better than two shots per round.

Head coach John Andrews' squad will return a pair of regulars in Segurola and van de Vin, while rising sophomore Santiago Ruiz seems primed to grab a spot in next year's lineup.
