PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida -- For the second consecutive year, both the men’s and women’s teams from Bethune-Cookman University claimed titles in a thrilling final round Sunday at the 28th PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship.

Bethune-Cookman won its seventh title in the Division I Men's competition, while in the Women’s Division, Bethune-Cookman claimed its Championship-record 11th title.

This marks the fourth time that the men and women from Bethune-Cookman have won both titles in the same year.

The 54-hole Championship featured nearly 200 players representing more than 40 colleges and universities competing at PGA Golf Club.

The Bethune-Cookman women's team, which was tied with Chicago State University heading into the final round, used a 4-over-par 292 total to win the division by six strokes. Chicago State was looking for its first title in school history. The University of Houston-Victoria finished third.
