NCCU CAPTURES WINSTON-SALEM STATE GOLF INVITATIONAL

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem State University men's golf team finished a close second to the Eagles of North Carolina Central University at the WSSU Golf Invitational on Friday afternoon as the host-team Rams shot a four-man total of 352 from Winston Lake Golf Course in Winston-Salem, NC.

North Carolina Central turned in a tournament-best 323 as they were led by Steve Wright and Mark Clayton who both fired 79's on the afternoon.  The Eagles, one of the best men's golf programs in the CIAA, showed why they are a favorite to win the CIAA title as only one of five scoring roster members shot higher than an 83.

The Rams, vastly improved over last season, saw Joshua Vogler shoot an 81 as both he and William Monk cracked the 80's (87).  Brett Lindquist had an off-day as he shot a 92 en route to WSSU's four-man total of 352.

Johnson C. Smith posted a 392 to place third and Shaw University rounded out the four-team field with a fourth-place finish with a total score of 552.
