Golf places 4th, shanks shot

One week after a runner-up finish, the University of La Verne golf team
placed a disappointing fourth in the second of two Southern California Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (SCIAC) 18-hole Tournaments, seriously hurting its chances
to move up in the standings.
The Leopards team total of 338 tied them with Occidental for a distant
fourth-place finish at the Annandale Country Club Monday, behind a top three
separated by only two points.
ULV is currently tied with Claremont-Mudd-Scripps for third place in
the conference standings.
However, the Leopards have only Tuesday's 36-hole SCIAC Championship
to earn points, while the Stags have two additional matches remaining, one
against Whittier College, which has a 1-5 record.
That means La Verne must finish higher than CMS in the SCIAC Championship
and then play a waiting game, hoping second place Cal Lutheran defeats the
Stags in match play.
In Monday's tournament, Cal Lu finished two shots ahead of CMS, with
a total of 314. Redlands was second with 315, led by Tres Kirkebo's match-best
72.
La Verne can gain a possible 16 points from the conference championships,
but the Stags can earn up to 20.
