Odessa, TX-Phil Terpstra is hoping to see his team at Odessa Country Club next May. But they've got some work to do before then.

The Broncbusters finished 12^th as a team in the NJCAA Fall Preview while Vincent Wilhelm came in 26^th at 4-over par. Ranger College won the event with Ranger's Brandon Shong taking home the individual title at 8-under.

Playing against some of the best teams in the country, the Broncbusters struggled to get anything going in the first round. They shot a 308 on Thursday and a 302 on Saturday; good for 34-over on the Par-72 course.

Meantime Wilhelm continued his strong fall, bouncing back from an opening-round 78, to card a two-under 70 on Friday. He birdied six, 11 and 12, while dropping in 14 pars. His only mistake came at the end of the round when he bogeyed 18. Other than that, the sophomore was fantastic.

Isaac MacNaughton finished 46^th at 9-over. He shot a 77 on Thursday and a 76 on Friday. His final round did include a birdie on the Par-5 11^th, which covered 600 yards. It was the most daunting hole on the course and one of only four par-5's.

Freshman Adam Samnegard shot 3-over in round one, but struggled and finished with a 79 on Friday, coming in tied for 49^th. He bogeyed six holes including a double on seven during the final round.

Oliwer Toiminen was 53^rd at 11-over. His best round came on Friday with a 77, while Guilherme Oliva was 56^th at 14-over and Garrett Sanchez tied for 70^th.
