Meet Results

After a week off the Yellowjacket men's golf team returned to action Friday, competing against six other squads at the Northland Invite. The event turned from a seven-team to a three-team race, as the top three finishers were separated by three strokes and had a ten stroke gap over the rest of the field.

The University of Northwestern took home first place honors, finishing the day with a combined score of 330. The Eagles finished the day three strokes ahead of second-place St. Scholastica, who came in at 333. The Yellowjackets placed third, one stroke back of St. Scholastica at 334.

Evan Lunda of Northland College was the men's medalist, winning the tournament with a one-over par score of 73. Yellowjacket standout Anton Svensson (Sodertalje, Sweden/Igelstavikens Gymnasium) was second, finishing four strokes back with a 77. The second-highest finishing Yellowjacket was Luke Karakas (Green Bay, Wis./East), who tied for fifth with a score of 85. Right behind him was freshman Matthew McCoshen (Lino Lakes, Minn./White Bear Lake), who shot an 82 and tied for eighth. McCoshen's score didn't count toward the Yellowjacket total, however, as only five golfers are allowed to score for their team and the other five Yellowjacket players were designated to score at the meet.
