Luther saw all five golfers earn All-Conference to lead the field. Haakon Rustad, posting a 54-hole total of 219 (+6), claimed medalist honors. Teammate Jay Fjelstul posted back-to-back rounds at even par to finish just one shot back of Rustad (220, +7). Mark Devlin finished in fourth place with a three-round total of 226 (+13). Coming in seventh place was Hogan Reuter totaling 233 (+20). Brandon Dorans finished in ninth place, after falling in the scorecard playoff after finishing with a 234 (+21). 
 
Along with his low medalist honors, Rustad becomes the seventh Norse student-athletes to be named the Conference’s Golfer of the Year - joining Gene Sella (1977), Robert Cassidy (1983), Magnus Hellmark (1995, 1996, 1997), Dean Wilson (1999), Scott Theriault (2000), Andrew Peter (2013), and Ben Phipps (2022). This was Rustad’s first collegiate win.
