Final Combined Results
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's golf team closed out its fall season with a strong showing at the Lehigh Invitational presented by B Braun, which concluded Monday on the Grace Course at Saucon Valley Country Club. The Mountain Hawks matched Rutgers, the leader after Sunday's opening round, with a 305 on Monday, but the Scarlet Knights' 305 on Sunday gave them the team title at 305-305-610.
Â
Lehigh settled for second place at 313-305-618.
Â
Freshman Ethan Wall led the Mountain Hawks, tying for second place at 75-76-151. Wall finished one stroke behind medalist Doug Walters of Rutgers, who shot 74-76-150. Wall and Jonathan Renza of Rutgers tied for second but Wall's second round 76 gave him the individual runner-up trophy.
Â
"Ethan's a very good player," said Lehigh head coach Henry D'Alberto. "He has a lot of good experience for a freshman. We knew that coming in. We expect big things out of him, and maybe he'll even pull out a victory in the spring."
Â
Junior Carlos Kim was Lehigh's second-highest finisher, carding back-to-back rounds of 76 to finish fourth at 152. Sophomore Harley Abrams rebounded from an 81 Sunday to shoot 76 Monday and tie for 11th place at 157.
Â
Also competing for the Mountain Hawks were seniors Alex DiClemente and Andrew Arnold. DiClemente shot 81-77-158 to tie for 14th, while Arnold shot 83-84-167 and tied for 34th place.
Â
Sophomore Johnny Heydt led Lehigh's four individuals, shooting 76 Monday to tie for 11th at 81-76-157. Senior Ryan Prosser shot 89-81-170 to tie for 39th while freshman Dave Thompson finished at 91-82-173 to tie for 42nd. Junior Zach Allinson withdrew after an opening-round 82.
Â
Lehigh finished six strokes clear of third place Villanova (317-307-624), while the remaining five teams in order were Siena, Fordham, Lafayette and Bucknell.
Â
"Overall I think it's our best finish since we've been hosting this tournament at Saucon Valley," Henry D'Alberto said. "We had three scores in the 80s yesterday so we didn't play too well, especially some of our stronger guys who struggled but they bounced back today nicely. Hopefully we take some positives out of this for the spring season."
Â
The Lehigh Invitational presented by B Braun concludes the Mountain Hawks' fall season. Lehigh will open its spring campaign in March.
