Rounding out Calvin's team finishers was sophomore Greg Braun (Northville, Mich./Northville HS) with a round of 84.

Sophomore Ethan Tiller (Kalamazoo, Mich./Portage Central HS) competed individually and had a stellar day, firing a one-over par round of 72 although his score did not factor into the team standings.

With its second place finish on Saturday, Calvin moved up from fourth and into third place in the overall team standings. Hope takes over the league lead, seven strokes ahead of second place Trine with Calvin currently nine strokes behind of the Thunder in third.

COACHES COMMENT: "We posted a decent team score but we also made many mistakes that kept us from the win today," said Calvin head men's golf coach Brian Bolt. "Freshman Dylan Clark had a great day with a the low round of today's tournament and that helped us hang in there. We will have to clean up the loose shots in future rounds to climb up the leaderboard in the MIAA."

NEXT UP: Calvin will compete at MIAA Jamboree #3 next Monday. The competition will be hosted by Hope at the Wuskowhan Player's Club in West Olive, Michigan.
