Utah Tech wrapped up its 2023 fall season with a 16th-place finish at the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational, which completed play on Tuesday at The Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton, Calif.

The Trailblazers stood tied for 16th place after carding a 13-over par 301 on Monday, and despite improving by three strokes with a 10-over 298 on Tuesday, they slid one spot to 17^th through 36 holes. 
 
Utah Tech then came back on Wednesday and fired its low round of the event, a 4-over 292, which moved the Blazers back up to 16^th with a final team score of plus-27 891.
 
Fellow WAC member Grand Canyon (275-278-274-827, -37) led wire-to-wire to take home the first place trophy, while Loyola Marymount (278-275-282-835; -29) slipped past both Utah (275-283-278-836; -28) and Washington State (278-282-276-836; -28) to claim runner-up honors.
 
Sophomore Zach Felts paced the Trailblazer effort, chasing an opening 2-over 74 with back-to-back even par 72s to finish tied for 51^st at plus-2 218.  
 
Meanwhile senior Tyler Jones fired UT's low round of the event with an opening 2-under 70, which he followed with a 5-over 77 and 1-over 73 to join five others tied for 57^th at plus-4 220.
 
Freshman KJ Ofahengaue (76-74-77) tied for 86^th at plus-11 227, while freshman Bode Salas (82-77-70) posted his first collegiate under par round with a 70 on Wednesday to finish in solo 88^th at plus-13 229, and freshman Carter Williams (81-75-79) placed 94^th at plus-19 235. 
 
Utah Tech will open the 2024 spring schedule in February, though to date the official schedule has not been finalized.
