LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The Wayne State University men's golf team played its second-to-last tournament of the regular season on Monday and Tuesday, the Findlay Spring Invitational at Kentucky's Big Blue Golf Course. The Warriors finished fifth among 20 teams (+15, 879, 296-288-295) and were paced by Max Leppelmeier (Wauseon, Ohio / Pettisville) in a tie for seventh with an even score of 216 (72-73-71).

"The Warriors battled wind and weather again," said head coach, Mike Horn. "We played some solid golf, but still have a lot of short game areas to clean up. It's time for us to clean up the silly mistakes in preparation for the GLIAC Championships and the NCAA Tournament. Good playing by Max (Leppelmeier) and Mat (Hawryluk)!!

Leppelmeier was joined in the top 25 by fellow Warrior, Mat Hawryluk (Chatham, Ont. / Ursuline College Chatham), who carded a two-over 218 (74-69-75) and tied for 16th. Also getting onto the course for WSU were Luke Pelak (Mattawan, Mich. / Mattawan) in a tie for 37th with a seven-over 223 (75-72-76), Josh DiCarlo (Amherstburg, Ont. / General Amherst) in a tie for 57th with a 10-over 226 (76-77-73) and Ian Smith (Canton, Mich. / Plymouth) in a tie for 59th with an 11-over 227 (75-74-78).
