Rivera, who tied for fourth place, beat his previous 36-hole career-high from last year's Franklin Pierce Fall Invitational by twelve strokes with a 1-under 139.

Additionally, Rivera shot a career-best 68 over his final round, which also beat his high watermark of 71 at last year's Le Moyne Fall Invitational.

Filip Wetterqvist carded a tie for 38th place and finished with a 14-over 154, holing five birdies in tournament play. 

A one-stroke difference separated Andrew Brunozzi and Alec Ramos, who tied for 44th and 47th place, respectively.
