?Tommy is a true competitor,? said Pete Stevens, Post Head Golf Coach. ?For the team to come all the way back from seventh and almost last and play as well as we did shows the true character of our team. Tommy deserves a lot of the credit because he always rises to the challenge in the big events and the last three days were no exception. Dave (Croteau) played very well today. He is to be commended for his efforts.?

The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference proved they were not the weak sister at the event. Goldey-Beacom ended in third place with a 956 total. Mike Tobiason (Wilmington, DE) finished tied for sixth (232). The big mover in the final two days was Dominican College?s Bryan Mackey. The freshman fired rounds of 72 and 73 to finish an impressive fourth. Mackey got off to a shaky start in day one. He was six over in his first four holes. From there the youngster got his nerves under control and there was nobody better than Mackey in the final two rounds. Nyack?s John Carr ended 26th at 30-over. Carr was off to a promising start after a first round 75, but faltered in the final two days. GBC?s Steve Cutler was one of only five players to card all three rounds in the 70?s. Cutler finished Tied for 13th.
