UNE places 6th at UMF Invitational

Results

OAKLAND, Maine -- Paced by a 77 from Trevor Flanagan, the University of New England men's golf team finished 6th out of eight programs in the rain on Monday (Sep. 18) at the University of Maine-Farmington Invitational, which was played on the par-70 Waterville Country Club.

With a team score of 297, Husson University cruised to the title, 17 strokes clear of Saint Joseph's College of Maine (314) and 23 ahead of Thomas College (320). Colby College (323) and Maine Maritime Academy (327) rounded out the top five in front of the Nor'easters (329).

Flanagan was one of eight players in the field to record both 9-hole sides below 40, and wound up sharing 7th place. Jake Mielcarz shot 78, Jack Sicurella carded 80, and, in his first action of the season, Aidan Fontaine posted 94 to complete the UNE team total.

Chris Kauppila of Husson came in with the best individual round of the day -- a one-over-par 71.

The Nor'easters are set to challenge at the two-day Bowdoin College Invitational this weekend.
