After a wire-to-wire 18 holes, Northwestern finished just two strokes back for the runner-up finish. The Purdue Boilermakers took home the team championship while USF's Luke Gifford and Marquette's Hunter Eichhorn earned co-medalist honors.
Three Wildcats placed in the top-20 of the individual leaderboard.
First-year John Driscoll III carded a team-low 66, recording seven birdies and a bogey-free front nine to tie for 17th .Tuesday's round marks Driscoll's first top-20 finish of his collegiate career. His 6-under day enters the Marquette Intercollegiate record book as the second lowest individual round.
Junior Eric McIntosh finished tied for 7th after a bogey-free day at 4-under 68, tied for a career best.
Sophomore David Nyfjäll earned his first top-5 finish of the season, carding 4-under for the tournament for a share of fifth place.
