"I was very pleased with our performance against a field of primarily four-year colleges," said Coach Retzlaff.  "We had a few rounds where our players struggled early but hung in there and ended with solid scores.  That is a good sign from a young team that we hope to build on in the coming weeks.  Charlie Fuder was tremendous today.  After a few early bogeys, he struck the ball extremely well and capitalized on a lot of birdie opportunities.  To finish 2nd individually in a strong field of 48 players was a great performance.  Overall, it was a good day for our men and we look forward to competing in Jamestown on Monday."      

The Spartans will compete next on Monday at the two-day, 54-hole (36 holes on Monday) Jimmie Fall Invite at Jamestown CC in Jamestown, ND.
