Meet ResultsLAKE GENEVA, Wis. - The Edgewood College men's golf team shot a 294 on the second day of the MSOE Invitational at Grand Geneva G.C. in Lake Geneva, Wis., Monday to push its way to a third-place finish in a 13-team field.
Michael Mathwick finished tied for second overall after tying his career-best with a second-round 69 (-2) while
Zach Hentrich and
Patrick Bohrer posted a pair of 74's to catapult the Eagles past Carroll University and Concordia Wisconsin.
The Eagles sat just one stroke behind both Carroll and Concordia Wisconsin entering Monday but shot their lowest round of the season by three strokes to finish seven shots ahead of Carroll at the conclusion of the invite. Only Carthage College (607) and Central College (Iowa) (590) finished ahead of the Eagles, who have now finished in the top-three on three occasions this fall season. Edgewood College's 294 was the second-lowest team total of the event, as Central College shot a 293 on the first day.
Mathwick, who is coming off of a seventh-place finish out of 140 golfers at the Midwest Region Classic at Trapper Turn last week, shot a first-round 76 (+5) before his sub-70 round Monday to finish tied for second overall out of 74 golfers. Central College's Desmond Stoll won medalist honors after turning in a pair of 72's to finish one stroke ahead of Mathwick. It was Mathwick's second round in his Edgewood College career in which he shot a 69, as he also hit that mark last September at the Wisconsin Lutheran College Invitational.
Freshman
Zach Hentrich improved six strokes from his Day 1 total to card a three-over-par 74 on Monday. His two-day total of 154 tied for 18th overall. Not far behind Hentrich was senior
Patrick Bohrer. His 74 on Day 2 is tied for second-best score this season and his two-day score of 155 was tied for 22nd overall.
Rounding out the Eagles lineup were
Kyle Bruce (80-77-157) and
Mitch Feller (85-79-164). Bruce's finish was tied for 27th overall while Feller tied for 43rd with his performance. It was Feller's second bit of action this season, as he tied for 51st at the Culver's Edgewood College Fall Classic in late August with an 80-82-162 (+20).
The MSOE Invitational served as the final tuneup for Edgewood College this fall, as the Eagles will travel to Haven, Wis., Monday, Oct. 13 for the first two rounds of the 2014-15 NACC Championships.Â
