He also finished second in a tri-match with Bryant and Holy Cross in another team victory for the Blue Devils. Sebastianelli posted rounds of 69 and 75 to finish two-over, just one stroke off the pace. For the month he posted a 72.4 stroke average.

Shubley, a second team All-NEC selection a year ago, led all NEC performers with a 72.0 stroke average for the month while posting a pair of top-seven finishes. Shubley began October with a third place showing at the Connecticut Cup where he posted a one-under par 215 (72-70-73).  A week later, the Ontario native shot a five-over 145 (74-71) at the Metropolitan Intercollegiate event to land in seventh place. Shubley's performance helped the Pioneers to their best finish of the fall, securing second place in the 11-team field.
