HERMITAGE, Pa.--The Westminster College men's golf team, behind terrific individual performances by seniors Jacob Stuckert (Pittsburgh, Pa. | North Hills) and Sam Napper (Mt Pleasant, Pa. | Mt Pleasant), won the team title Sunday afternoon at the Thiel College Invitational.

The event was held at the Avalon Country Club at Buhl Park. Four teams participated in the event. Westminster finished with a team score of 300, edging runner-up Grove City College by one stroke (301).

Malone University's Luke Gutman was the medalist and teammate Alex Micale was the runner-up. Both were playing as individuals.

Five players finished the round with a two-over 72. The tie was broken by a scorecard playoff.

Stuckert and Napper were two of the players that carded 72's on Sunday. Sophomore Ellian Ascencio (Venetia, Pa. | Peters Township) finished 14th with a seven-over 77. Senior Calen Cummins (Allison Park, Pa. | Hampton) and sophomore Gavin Batdorff (Berlin Center, Ohio | South Range) tied for 15th after posting nine-over 79's.
