The University of the Cumberlands (Ky.) won the two-day tournament with a team total of 610 to easily out-distance runner-up Huntington (Ind.) University (625) and host and third-place finisher Cedarville (632). Indiana Institute of Technology (641) and Cornerstone (Mich.) University (649) rounded out the top five with MVNU coming in sixth at 652.

Individually, Pierre Carlsson of Cumberlands earned medalist honors as he carded a two-day, five-over-par 149 to edge Cedarville’s Matt Krogstad by one stroke. Senior Jared Schlabach (left) led the Cougars and was tied for tenth place overall at 158, while senior Tyler Tinch carded a 161. Sophomore Jay Ruffner (164), senior Matt Kerns (171), and sophomore Cory Palmer (183) rounded out the scoring for MVNU.

“We ended the regular season on a good note,” said MVNU coach Mark Stiverson. “The last day total of 313 was our best of the spring season while playing in terrible golf weather. I am really proud of these guys grinding out their shots and posting a decent score. I think that will give them a little boost for the upcoming conference tournament. This has been a season full of injuries, winter weather, and unlucky breaks. All is not lost, though, as we have one more chance to pull things together. And, I think we will.”

The Cougars will return to action on April 30-May 1 when the team will take part in the American Mideast Conference Tournament at Apple Valley Golf Course.
