FLORENCE, S.C. - Jacksonville fired a final round 300 to hold off Troy by one while Duncan Stewart won the individual title at the Raines Development Group Intercollegiate. The tournament title in the 18-team event gives the Dolphins four straight regular season titles, with Stewart winning the individual title in each - including two playoff victories.

Stewart carded a one-over par 73 in the final round to tie Jordy Haden from Troy and Stan Guerrero from Old Dominion at 213, three-under par. On the third playoff hole, Stewart drained a 32-foot putt for birdie to seal his second individual title of the season.

"The conditions were tough to score today, but I'm really proud of how we battled through to win the team title," said JU head coach Jim Taketa. "Duncan has played well all year and it's great to see him win another title. Now, we have to keep working as we enter the stretch run of our fall season."

Stewart carded the best round of the day for JU, with a one-over par 73. Russell Knox keeps rolling with his second top 10 finish in as many starts, finishing with a two-over par 74 to end the 54-hole event at even-par 216.
