AU Men’s Golf Team Places Seventh at GLIAC Tourney
October 6, 2002

The Ashland University men’s golf team went to Allendale, MI this weekend (Oct. 5-6) hoping to repeat the Cinderella performance of a year ago. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the slipper didn’t fit.

The Eagles finished seventh out of 12 teams at the 2002 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships held Saturday-Sunday at The Meadows Golf Course on the campus of Grand Valley State University. Northwood shot 908 to win the conference championship. Grand Valley State (912) was the runnerup.

A year ago when the tourney was held in Ashland the Eagles led after the first day and finished a surprising second. This year, AU finished in the middle of the pack, shooting 962.

Northwood’s Justin Holyszko shot two-under-par 214 to win medalist honors. No one really pushed him for the top honor, Grand Valley’s Kevin Kremer was second at 225.

Junior Bryan Brzozowski and freshman Zack Shafer finished in a three-way tie for 23rd. Both Eagles shot 238. Senior Matt Marino was just behind those two at 239.
