Fowler led the Titans in their host tournament, the Folino Invitational at the Industry Hills Golf Club in City of Industry with a career-best finish 221 (75-74-72), just one stroke shy of the individual title.  The women’s golf team received second place honors after Gonzaga posted a tournament best 293 on the last day to take a 13-stroke lead for the title.
