Eagles split at Fairfield

The Varsity Eagle golf team took a split on Thursday evening on the Timber Ridge Golf Club. The team shot a 183 on the front nine, which was good enough to beat Eastside who shot 209, but not good enough to get past Fairfield who shot 163. It was a nice night to score and some of the team took advantage, but unfortunately many of those players were on the junior varsity roster. The team was led by Austin Corcimiglia's 38, which was one off of the pace set by medalist Zach Hochstetler from Fairfield. Tyler Jenkins and Jordon Schmucker each had 47s. Justin Papenbrock shot 51 and finally Collin Sherburne rounded out the team's scoring with a 55. The split put the team's record at 1-1 overall and in the NECC. The varsity team will be back in action on Saturday at the Goshen Invitational.

The JV team also split with the Fairfield Falcons and Eastside Blazers. The team shot a solid 200 on the night and received solid contributions from many different players. Fairfield shot a solid 183, while Eastside shot 256. Leading the team was Seth Wirick who shot 46, Brody Dunn shot a 47, Austin Papenbrock shot 49, and finally Colt Penner rounded out the scoring with a 58. The split put the team's record at 2-1 overall, 1-1 in the NECC. The JV will be back in action on Saturday when they travel to the Round Barn Golf Club in Rochester.
