HELLERTOWN, Pa. – The Lehigh men's golf team posted its second strong performance in less than a week as the two-day Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Lehigh Valley Collegiate Invitational hosted by Lafayette, wrapped up Monday at Silver Creek Country Club. Senior Carlos Kim and junior Harley Abrams tied for second overall while the Mountain Hawks finished second in the 14 team field, just one stroke shy of what would have been their second Lafayette Invitational title in the last three years.

As a team, Lehigh shot 293 on Monday, the lowest team round of the weekend. That, combined with a 299 on Sunday was good for a final score of 24 over par 592. St. Peter's used rounds of 297 and 294 to finish at 591.
Â
Individually, all five scoring Mountain Hawks broke 80 in Monday's final round.

Â
Senior Zach Allinson gave Lehigh three players in the top 20 individually, tying for 18th at seven over par 149 (75-74).
