After holding a two-stroke lead on the field following Monday’s 297 at Beavercreek Golf Club, the Cougars posted a 316 on the second day to finish with a 613 - three strokes behind the host Yellow Jackets (610). Ohio Dominican University finished third at 614 in a battle between three teams who each received votes in the most recent NAIA national poll.

Individually, senior Anthony Savage (left) earned medalist honors for MVNU as he finished with a two-day, five-over-par total of 149 to edge Cedarville teammates Matt Krogstad and Trevor Bowman, who each shot a 150. Senior Preston Knight was 11th with a 155, and junior Tyler Tinch carded a 157 to finish tied for 18th. Junior Jared Schlabach rounded out the scoring with a 159 to tie for 22nd out of 45 golfers.  Senior Tim Hepner shot a 72 on the first day, but he was disqualified for the second round.

MVNU will look to continue its success on the links on Friday and Saturday when the Cougars will compete in the Capital University Invitational held at Foxfire Golf Club.
