MALVERN, Pa. – Junior Johnny Hsu fired a final round five under par 66 to move into a tie for fifth place overall and lift the Lehigh men's golf team to a seventh place finish as the 19-team Wildcat Invitational wrapped up Tuesday at White Manor Golf Club.

Behind Hsu, Quinn posted a four stroke improvement over his round one score, carding three birdies Tuesday to shoot one over par 72 and finish in a tie for 29th place at 148 (76-72). Sophomore Ryan Kelly was Lehigh's top player after round one and shot 77 on Tuesday to tie for 38th place at 149 (72-77).
