COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Christian Cichan led the way with a final round, 4-under par 68 as the GW golf team finished 12th in the season-opening Falcon Invite hosted by U.S. Air Force Academy.
GW moved up seven spots on the team leaderboard after Friday's opening round, closing with a 1-over 289 on Sunday to finish at 14-over 878 (306-283-289). Logan Lowe was GW's top finisher (-1, T24) while Cichan wasn't far behind (E, T29).
TEAM RESULTS
- T24 Logan Lowe -- 73, 68, 74 (-1)

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS

NOTABLE
- Cichan made five birdies and just one bogey en route to his 68, which was just one shot off his career low of 67 ... Thompson, a freshman playing in his first collegiate event, turned in his first under-par round thanks to five birdies, offsetting two bogeys and a double ... he birdied three straight from holes 11-13 and played the last eight holes at 3-under par.
