From NYU Athletics
New York University's men's golf team was the runner-up at the
Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III
Mid-Atlantic Championship, which was held on Saturday and Sunday,
October 4-5, at the Blue Heron Hills Golf Club in Macedon, NY.
The Violets (619) shot 314 on day one and 305 on day two, finishing
the tournament in second of 11 competing teams. The squad trailed
competition-winner St. John Fisher College (581) by 38 strokes.
Paul Park (151) was
NYU's lowest overall scorer, shooting 77 on day one and 74 on day
two to finish in seventh place.
"We had a better day today," Head Coach Todd Kolean said. "We learned the
course much better yesterday, so we had an easier time today. St.
John Fisher knows the course backwards and forwards, so I'm really
happy with the way we played. The weather was still cold and ugly
today. Paul played really well, and being from Southern California,
he still handled the course really well. Chris Nolte also had a
very good day."
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Co-captain Kevin
Chien tied for ninth place after shooting 154 overall
(77-77).
- Daniel
Lynch and Christopher Nolte each shot 156
overall, tying for 15th place.
- Co-captain Matthew
Gjonaj (159) and Hartej
Gill (160), tied for 21st and 25th,
respectively.
