The Arizona State Sun Devils played every part of the second-ranked team in the country on Tuesday, closing with a 4-under 284 to take the team title at the Isleworth Collegiate in Windemere, Fla.

It was a wire-to-wire victory for the Sun Devils, who finished at 11-under 853 to fend off a hard-charging Illinois team by two strokes to claim their first title of the season. ASU opened an 11-stroke lead on the field after carding a 277 in the first round but slipped back into a tie with Auburn after coming in at 4-over 292 on Monday.

On championship Tuesday, the Sun Devils used under-par rounds by Mason Andersen (70), David Puig (71), Ryggs Johnston (71) and an even-par 72 by freshman Preston Summerhays to secure the team title.

Illinois, which began the day four strokes back, turned in the lowest round of the day at 6-under 282 but came up two shots shy of the Sun Devils.

The Illini will be taking some hardware back to Champaign, however, as sophomore Piercen Hunt birdied two of his last three holes for a final round 68 to come from six shots back to win his first title as a collegian.

Cameron Sisk of Arizona State took a two-stroke lead into the final round over Jack Wall of South Carolina, but Sisk fell out of contention with a 77 while Wall stumbled to a 74, leaving the door upon to a pack of pursuers.

It was Hunt who seized the opportunity. After opening his round with a birdie, the Wisconsin Amateur champion made an eagle on the par-5 seventh and then moved to 4-under on the day with a birdie on 10. Dropped strokes on 12 and 13 moved him back to 2-under on the day and 5-under for the tournament, but birdies on 16 and 17 got him back to 7-under for the tournament, which was good for a one-stroke victory over defending champion Johnny Travale of Central Florida.

Travale, a two-time winner already this season, shot a final-round 69 to climb five spots up the leaderboard into second place.
