Meet Results

It had been nearly 30 years since UW-Superior fielded a men's golf program when the team debuted in St. Scholastica's triangular Tuesday. Less than 48 hours later the team was back in action, and the showing was stronger then what was seen at Northland Country Club Tuesday.

Crown College ran away with the title, finishing with a tournament-best score of 318, five strokes better than second place Northwestern. Bethany Lutheran placed third with a score of 328, five strokes ahead of the Yellowjackets who finished the day fourth with a score of 333.

"It has been quite a week. Guys got into town Sunday and Monday, played Tuesday, started class yesterday and then played today. That's a lot in a short amount of time, but all in all I think they have done a great job this week," Yellowjacket Head Coach Dan Stauber said. "I'm pleased. We kind of found where we were at Tuesday and we improved from that meet to today. I'm excited to see where this group can go because we think we have some pretty good ball strikers in here."

The Yellowjackets are off until Friday, September 11, when they will travel to Ashland to compete in the Northland Invite. The meet is set to being at 11:30 a.m.
