Philadelphia, Pa. - The Manhattan men's golf team opened up their 2013 spring schedule with a fourth place finish in the La Salle Invitational on Sunday. Orignally set to be a two-day event, the forecast for Monday forced it to be shortened to an 18-hole tounament.
The Jaspers were paced by Chris Calabro who turned in a six-over 77, good enough to tie for 14th overall. Senior Matthew Creamer and Paul Toohey each tied for 16th with a round of 78.
James Edgeworth shot an 83 on the day to finish 33rd while Michael Giannico finished with a round of 87 to place 49th out of 63 golfers.
Manhattan's overall team score of 316 was fourth best out of 11 schools. Hofstra University won the team title, followed by La Salle and Rider. The Jaspers were one stroke better than both Monmouth and Siena, who rounded out the top five.
Manhattan will be back in action on Sun., April 7, when they travel to Easton, Pa. for the Lafayette Invitational set to be played at Northampton Country Club.
