- Ten NAIA Region VIII teams met
at Rock Hollow
Golf Club for a tune-up match on the course where next week's regional
tournament will be held. The Foresters
finished third with a 607, just seven strokes behind Marian College
who won the event with a 600. Bethel was second with a 603.
Justin McMillen paced
HU with a 147 (75, 72), which was third on the list of individual
scores. Justin Imel was right behind him with a 148 (73, 75).
Ryan Bonner shot a 156 (79, 77), Cory Powell had a 157 (79, 78) and
Spencer Batt finished with a 160 (83, 77).
Rounding out the
team scoring was Davenport in fourth (621) followed by Indiana
Wesleyan (622), Madonna (623), Spring Arbor (625), Cornerstone (631),
St. Francis (646) and Siena Heights (671).
"We had a very good start and stayed even par as a team for the first
13 holes," said Coach Green. "We were 13 over par on the final five
holes, so we have got to learn how to maintain our focus and finish
much stronger. It kind of feels like we gave this tournament away,
but I do feel like we have a little momentum on our side as we head
into our regional tournament. It's good to see our scores continue to
drop this season. There were a lot of very good teams in this
tournament, so to finish 3rd is something that we can gain a lot of
confidence from." |
