BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Graduate student Sam Barton capped his Lehigh career as a three-time All-Patriot League performer as the Mountain Hawks wrapped up action at the Patriot League Championship Sunday on the Grace Course at Saucon Valley Country Club.
 
Barton earned second team All-Patriot League honors with a ninth place finish. Lehigh finished fourth in an eight team field with a final score of 897 (300-301-296).
 
Loyola claimed the team title with a final total of 881. The Greyhounds beat second place Colgate by 13 strokes. Navy was two strokes behind Colgate while Lehigh finished three shots out of second place.
 
Barton shot three over par 75 Sunday to finish at six over par 222 (75-72-75). He made one birdie in his final round along with 14 pars. Barton added a 2024 second-team honor to a first-team performance in 2021 and second team laurels in 2022.
 
Senior Edmund Broderick was Lehigh's No. 2 finisher with the low round of the day for the Mountain Hawks. Broderick made three birdies in a final round 72 and tied for 17th place at 227 (80-75-72).
 
After shooting 77 the first two days, graduate student David Hurly improved to a 75 Sunday with two birdies. Hurly's 229 left him tied for 21st place.
 
Sophomores Aiden LeBlanc and Will Caronchi tied for 24th place at 230. Caronchi made three birdies in a final-round 74 to go 79-77-74, while LeBlanc also made three birdies Sunday and went 72-79-79.
 
Junior Jahan Bains led Lehigh with four birdies in Sunday's final round. He tied for 42nd place at 236 (76-83-77).
 
Loyola's Carlo Pizzano was the individual champion at two over par 218 (73-71-74). Pizzano beat teammate James Rico and Navy's Jack Tarzy by one stroke.
 
Last year's Patriot League Champions, Lehigh will lose three members of its Patriot League Championship squad to graduation.
