Playing in a field of 14 teams that included NCAA Division II and NAIA
institutions, the Foresters finished tenth with a three round total
of 931. After posting a first
round score of 323, HU was sitting in 12th place in the standings.
The Foresters took 13 strokes off during the second round with a 310
and then posted the fifth best score of 298 in the final round to
move up to tenth place.
The University of Indianapolis won
the event with an 870 followed by Ferris State (874), Grand Valley
State (879), Findlay (893), Wisconsin-Parkside (895), Tiffin (904),
Northwood (911), Indianapolis B team (923), St. Joseph's (929), HU
(931), Marian (935), Southern Indiana - Edwardsville (941), Quincy
(1020) and Oakland City (1021).
Dan Schroeder came up with a four
under par 68 in the final round to pace HU. He shot an 81 and
a 75 in the first two rounds to finish with a team-leading 224.
Justin Imel was also under par in the final round with a 71.
He combined a 77 and an 81 in the first two rounds to shoot a 229
for the tournament. Spencer Batt (83, 77,79) was third with a
239. Ryan Bonner was a stroke behind him at 240 (82, 77, 81).
Cory Powell finished with a 246 (83, 83, 80) and Luke Smith had a
247 (77, 87, 83).
"The first day
was very disappointing," said Coach Green. "We really didn't show up
and play like we were capable of playing. On a positive note, the
last round was great. Dan's play was spectacular and Justin
also played very well. This was probably the toughest field of
opponents that we will face all year, so to have a top five score on
the final day was very good for us." |
