Buschman, a sophomore from Washington, Mo., shot a first round 79 before coming back strong with a even par 72 to finish at 151. Senior Brad Nipper shot a 79-75 for a 154 and tied for 20th while fellow senior Justin Sellin went 75-80 for 155 and tied for 27th. UCM's Justin Yoder was the individual medalist with a 142 (71-71).

The Bearcats are off next week before returning to action on October 5 and 6 at the Fort Hays Invitational in Hays, Kansas. The meet will take place at the Smoky Hills Country Club.
