Competing on a par-72 course at the Concordia Spring Invitational in Lake City, Minn., the Bearcats shot a two-day 331 team score that left them in sixth place, just two strokes behind fifth place host Concordia-St. Paul. Winona State won the meet with a 307 followed by Minnesota-Crookston (314) and Bemidji State (323) and Upper Iowa University (323).
Junior Garrett Smith had SBU's top individual score. Smith finished 12th in the overall player standings, shooting a team-best 36 on day one.
