Meet Results

For the first time since the mid-1980s, UW-Superior is fielding a men's golf team. Head Coach Dan Stauber's team opened the 2015 season Tuesday, competing with UMAC foes St. Scholastica and Northland in the Saints Triangular at Duluth's Northland Country Club. And the first day of competition for the season was a tight one, with all three teams finishing within eight strokes.

The hosts from St. Scholastica, competing in the first men's golf meet in school history, emerged victorious with a score of 342. Northland took second on the day with 349 points, while the Yellowjackets were right behind them, ending the day with 350 points.

Junior Anton Svensson (Sodertalje, Sweden/Igelstavikens Gymnasium) was in the hunt until the very end, finishing the round with a 9-over par 80, one stroke off the pace in the season opener. Svensson tied for second place with St. Scholastica's Kilen Eilefson. The individual medalist for the day was Northland's Evan Lunda, who shot 79 over 18 holes.

The Yellowjackets had all seven team members competing, but only five are allowed to count their scores toward the team score. Owen Stauber (Hermantown, Minn./Hermantown) was not one of the five Yellowjackets scoring, but he had a strong round, finishing the day with an 18-hole score of 82, which tied him for fifth in the event. Freshman Tim Shaffer (Austin, Minn./Austin) also broke 90, heading to the clubhouse with a score of 87.
