NEW LONDON, N.H.
– The Southern New Hampshire University men's golf team
finished two shots back of tournament champion Bentley University
to finish second out of eight schools at the Northeast Challenge
that wrapped up Sunday at Lake Sunapee Country Club. The
Penmen, who entered Sunday two shots back of the Falcons after
posting a 299 Sunday, followed up with a 300 on Sunday, as did
Bentley, which finished with a 597.
Franklin Pierce University had
Sunday's low score with a 297 to move into third with a
two-day score of 610, followed by Dowling College (613), American
International College (614), Saint Anselm College (616), Assumption
College (618) and Dominican (N.Y.) College (628).

Underhill (Bedford, N.H.) posted identical 74s in each
round to finish at 148, good for a tie for fourth. Freshman
