TALLAHASSEE, FL (March 12, 2016)--The cream rose to the top on the final day of the Seminole Intercollegiate as No. 2 Auburn and No. 3 Florida State finished 1-2.

Redshirt senior Jake Mondy (3-under) tied for 11th while it was redshirt senior Michael Johnson (2-under) and junior Will Long (2-under) tying for 13th.
Although Florida State was unable to defend their team tournament title senior Hank Lebioda (8-under) did capture his first career victory. The 2016 Ben Hogan Watch List performer posted a final round 4-under 68 to win by one.
Lebioda birdied his first hole of the day to set the stage for the rest of the round. In all the senior carded four birdies and an eagle on 10, a par-five.
East Tennessee State's senior Adrian Meronk (7-under) finished in solo second place.
First round leader James Madison (284) concluded play in third place four behind Auburn.
