Rauch's 64 is tied for the program's single round low, tied with Anton Albers on two occasions and Justin Warren at the Trinity Forest Invitational in 2018. The senior went 2-under on the back nine after starting on hole 10 , then 4-under over the front, including a birdie and an eagle on holes eight and nine to close out his round.
 
Rauch was one of three Trojans to finish under par in round three, joined by Anton Albers and Jansen Smith at 1-under 69. Albers closed out the event at 8-under 202, tied with Justin Warren for the lowest 54-hole score in program history, as he ties for sixth among the 147-player field, five shots off the lead and ranking tied for first at 5-under on par-four holes.
 
Smith's 1-under 69 gives him a three-round total of even-par 210, tied for 40th overall with Rauch. Magnus Lomholt tied for 74th after notching a 4-over 214 with Nico Horder rounding out the Little Rock scorecard at 6-over 216, highlighted by his final round 1-over 71.
 
Entering the day tied for 10th, Little Rock shaved eight shots off its round two total to card the 7-under 273, the fourth-lowest round of the day in northern California and the third-lowest in program history. The effort allowed the Trojans to jump four spots, finishing tied with Georgia Tech (11-under 829) and one shot back of Oregon (12-under 828) in fifth-place.
 
Washington captured the team title at 22-under 818, including a 10-under 270 in round three, defeating Nevada (19-under 821) by three shots. Host Stanford (17-under 832) finished third with SMU (16-under 824) joining Oregon among the top-five.
 
 The finish gives Little Rock its eighth top-10 team finish in as many events this year as the Trojans continue to bolster their postseason resume. After a challenging stretch which saw Little Rock compete in four events in less than a month, the Trojans will have a little time off before returning to action in Texas, competing at the 2022 Aggie Invitational April 9-10 in Bryan.
