Under 300 In First Spring Meet

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (4/06/12)—Pat Deitzand Coy Papachek finished 1-2 in helping the Cobbers place second at the St. John's Triangular Meet on Friday at the Territory GC in St. Cloud. Deitz fired a 2-under-par 70 while Papachek was two shots back with an even par 70.
 
Concordia, competing in their first meet of the spring season, finished with a team total of 298 which was only one shot behind nationally ranked St. John's. The Cobbers held the lead at the turn but then came up just short after a back 9 rally by the Johnnies. The 298 fired by CC is only the fourth time they have fired a team total under 300 during the 2011-12 campaign.

The only other Cobber golfer to finish inside the top 15 was sophomore Barret Freeland who carded a four-over 76 and finished in a tie for ninth place. Tyler Koivisto and Andrew Whitchurch both tied for 16^th place with identical 78's while Jordie Siverson posted an 81 and Dylan Ferrel came home with an 82.

Concordia will continue their spring season when they play in the Valley City Invite on Apr. 15-16 at Village Green Golf Course in Moorhead.
