FINDLAY, Ohio -- Playing in its second-to-last tournament of the fall season, the Wayne State University men's golf team is in fourth place among 19 squads after two rounds of Findlay's Doc Spragg Fall Invitational.  The Warriors carded a 575 (-1, 281-294) and were paced individually by Andrew Daily (Brighton, Mich.) in a tie-for-10th with a 142 (-2, 69-73).

"We battled all day," said head coach Mike Horn.  "Between the weather and the slow methodical pace, we held it together really well for 30 holes, really struggled on the last six.  Hopefully we can follow our script that we've had all season where we play okay the first day and really play well the second day.  We're gonna need that if we are going to catch anybody ahead of us.  We need all five guys playing like they can from the moment the first tee shot is hit.  Congrats to Andrew Daily on a very strong day all the way around."

Warrior Individuals (of 100 total)
T10. Daily - 142 (-2, 69-73)

Team wise, joining Wayne State in the top five, were Grand Valley State in first (-17, 559), the host Oilers in second (-9, 567), Ashland in third (-2, 574) and Ferris State in fifth (E, 576).  The Warriors' 281 through the first 18 holes was second best, but the 294 in round two was tied with Ferris State for the highest of any team in the current top eight.
