Senior Tyler Gerbavsits also turned in a top-20 finish. The Huntington, N.Y., native shot a team-best 71 in the opening round before closing out the day with a 75 over the final 18 holes. Gerbavsits' first-round effort was highlighted by four birdies.
Classmate Jack Simon finished six-shots back of Gerbavsits, carding a 75 and 77 on the afternoon.
Senior Joseph Busiello and junior Gage Wolfle rounded out scoring for the Red Storm lineup, shooting a 156 and 157, respectively.
Kevin Sze of Havard claimed medalist honors, shooting a two-round 9-under 135 to sit two-strokes clear of teammate Brian Ma. Harvard earned the team title posting an 18-under 558 on the afternoon.
The Johnnies will return to action on Oct. 25-26, as the team competes in the Nassau Intercollegiate hosted by LIU.
