Heading into the final day, Bethel held a three-shot lead over Gustavus while four teams were vying for the title and were all separated by just five shots. The Royals rose to the occasion and claimed their first-ever MIAC title shooting a 297 in the final round thanks to 12 birdies which gave them a six stroke advantage when all was said and done. 

Dillon John, Bennett Smed and Alex Case all placed in the top 10 where John and Smed tied for fourth while Case tied for eighth among the field of 50 golfers.

For the second time in program history the Bethel claimed the MIAC Championship title. The Royals carded a program-best 6-under-par 858 (285-282-291), the second-lowest 54-hole score in recorded MIAC Men's Golf history, winning the championship by 13 strokes over Saint John's. Concordia finished third with an 899. Bethel was one shot back of the lead heading into round two before delivering what would be a program 18-hole low at the time, six-under-par 282 moving up past Saint John's and holding a nine-stroke lead heading into the final round. 

BU placed three on the All-Championship squad which is given to the top 10 individual finishers. Jacob Hall finished second with a 212, Conor Schubring carded a 213 for third and David Morton placed fifth with a 215.
