On another day of ideal weather, Robert Morris shot a 284 (+4) for a two-day total of 565 to win the Keenan title by three shots over Humber (Ontario) College. Robert Morris broke its own tournament record of 571 set in 2011.

Monday, Colonial junior Garrett Browning led the way with a five-under par 65, while teammate Ryan Prokay shot a 72 to win medalist honors at 137 (-3) by one shot over Stewart Gray of LIU-Brooklyn.
