Schmader finishes second at Robert Morris tournament

The Clarion University men’s golf team was in action once again this past Monday and Tuesday.

The talented squad competed in the Colonial Classic Golf Tournament held by Robert Morris University.

The tournament was contested at The Club at Shadow Lakes in Hopewell Township, Pa.

The Golden Eagles finished the tournament in second place with an overall score of 605 (301, 304).

Host school Robert Morris won the event with a total score of 598 (304, 294).

Clarion senior co-captain, Jared Schmader led the Golden Eagles with his second place finish.

Schmader fired rounds of two-over par 74 and two-under par 70, for an even-par total of 144.

“I’m very happy with my efforts this week. It would have been nice to win obviously, but I played pretty solid all in all. We have our eyes set on the PSAC Championship right now,
we can’t wait,” said Schmader.

Clarion junior, Ross Pringle was right behind Schmader finishing in third place over the two days.

Pringle shot rounds of 72 and 74 which gave him a final score of two-over par.

“This was yet another quality tournament for our golf team. We haven’t finished outside of the top five this year, and that’s pretty impressive. We’ve got a great group right here,”
Pringle said.

Also contributing for the Golden Eagles were junior Zach Schloemer, sophomore Bill Stover and senior co-captain Sean Foust and freshman Alex Angelone.

Schloemer finished 11th with a total of 156 (76, 80) while Stover was 15th at 162 (79, 83) and Foust 18th carding a 164 (84, 80).

Angelone finished in 20th with a 165, (83, 82).

“PSAC’s here we come! Hopefully my play picks up, and I start to contribute a little more than I have been. I know we can win our conference this year,“ said Foust.

“Another solid tournament for the golf team. We played okay, but came up short this week. Hopefully, we have saved up our best game for PSACs. We all like that course, so I’m
going in liking our chances,” Schloemer said.

Clarion will next be in action at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships on October 16-17 at the Hershey Links Golf Club in Hershey, Pa.
