Over the weekend, the team travelled to Princeton, NJ for the Princeton Invitational. The team finished in fifth place behind the performance of senior Andrew Mason, who shot 75-76-68 over the two-day tournament. Mason has been the top golfer for the Owls this season with a 73.3 average. Up next, the team will participate in the Rhody Invitational in Portsmouth, RI. It will be the team’s final regular season tournament before travelling to Howie in the Hills, FLA for the Atlantic Ten Conference Championships.
