Vincent finished tied for 35th at the 2014 NCAA Men’s Golf Championships in Hutchinson, Kansas and finished third in the 2014 NCAA Auburn Regional. He finished sixth at the 61st Annual ACC Men’s Golf Championships in April.

During the 2013-14 season, Vincent became the first golfer in Virginia Tech history to win three individual tournament titles in a season. He won the season-opener at the Golfweek Conference Challenge, the VCU Shootout and the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate. Vincent had six top five finishes and nine top 10 finishes in 12 events this season and was named the ACC Player of the Month in September.
