The Men’s golf team shot a collective 829 (-35) and finished nine shots ahead of second place and a 284 (-4) in the first round, 266 (-22) in the second round and a 279 (-9) in the third and final round to pick up the title at Bull’s Bridge Golf Club Tuesday afternoon.  

The Knights’ total is tied for the best ever in the history of the event. 

The Knights also picked up the individual title with fifth year Senior Luis Carrera shoot a 16-under-par 200 to dominate the field winning by five strokes. Carrera kick started his tournament shooting a 69 (-3) in the first round before firing a blistering 63 (-12) in the second round to tie for the best round in program history to take the lead. Carrera didn’t look back by shooting a four under 68 to complete the sweep for the Knights.
