URBANA, Md. – Colgate placed fifth out of 14 teams at the Carpetbagger Classic, held this weekend at Worthington Manor Golf Club in Urbana, Maryland.

COACH KIRCHER'S COMMENTS

"Our guys really responded this weekend. Finishing fifth in a strong 14-team field says a lot about their resilience and focus. Brayden set the tone for us with a top-five finish. He played with confidence and composure all weekend long. But what I'm most proud of is the way the entire team stayed positive and competed from start to finish. This is the standard we know we're capable of, and it's a great step forward for us."
