“It was very exciting to both see the course that will be hosting the NCAC’s while also having a great second round as a team to win the tournament,” said Mark Wright,

Laszlo opened his weekend with a tournament-low of two under par. For his performance, Laszlo recieved the honor of Golfer of the Week, given by the NCAC.
Seniors Sam Stillwell and Garrett Brickley, along with Laszlo, finished in the top three for the tournament. Stillwell and Brickley saw improvement from the last course, shooting two and three over par, respectively.
