Lynn edged out No. 23 Carson-Newman College by two strokes. Carson-Newman shaved 19 shots off its first round total and moved past two teams to press Lynn for the title. Their 300 breaks Lynn’s record of 308 for the lowest round in the Flagler Fall Slam at Marsh Creek CC. Defending Flagler Fall slam champion Barry University finished in third place with a 624.
