Fields bettered his opening-round 78 by one stroke on Tuesday by carding a six-over-par 77 as he closed out tournament play with a two-day total of 155, good enough for a tie for 11th place in individual medalist play.
Henderson Golf Club, a par-71, 6,650-yard course would prove to be no match for the remaining Rams’ golfers as Michael Asbury recorded a round of 88 and Kenneth Lathan scored a 98 in final-round play.
Virginia State University posted a final-round total of 302 to capture the team title as they bested the 14-team field with a 622 total.
The Rams will take the remainder of the winter off before returning to action March 19-21, 2010 at Winston Lake Golf Club as they host the WSSU Spring Golf Challenge.
