🔼 Strike the Match. The men’s golf team took on two different games of golf this week at the SEC Match Play Championships. First, the team competed in stroke play and finished in 13th place. Alex Goff had his third straight under-par round of the tournament and tied for sixth overall.

Next was match play, and the team was so close to defeating the University of South Carolina. Campbell Kremer won up by one, and Alex Goff won five and four. On the opposite end, Jansen Preston was defeated five and four. Solomon Petrie and Michael Hake had skilled shots, but unfortunately, each lost by one.
