April 10, 2009

COLUMBUS, Ind. - The Lewis University men's golf team moved up a spot to sixth place during the final day of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship at the Otter Creek Golf Club. Lewis finished with a 317-300-297=914, just four shots behind fifth place.

"Our bad first day set us back but I was really proud of the way we kept battling," head coach Dennis Troy said.

Senior Greg Roderique (Aurora, Ill./Waubonsie Valley) and sophomore Logan Watts (New Albany, Ind./New Albany) tied for 12th overall and the team lead. Roderique shot a 77-72-75=224. Watts improved his total each day, shooting a 77-76-71=224.

Junior Paul Dagys (Oak Forest, Ill./Oak Forest) was third on the team and tied for 21st overall, totaling an 82-73-74=229.

Junior Peter Tanaka (Naperville, Ill./Waubonsie Valley) recorded a 241 (85-79-77), good to tie for 49th. Sophomore John Whiting (Bloomfield Hills, Mi./Detroit Country Day) finished 53rd, shooting a 81-85-81=247.

"We broke 300 today and move up a spot but came up short of catching Southern Indiana like we were trying to do," Troy said.

Lewis finished sixth among the GLVC's 12 schools. University of Indianapolis took the team title by finishing first (864).
