Men's Golf Wins ECAC Championship

The Middlebury men's golf team captured the ECAC Championship for the second time in the last three years, coming from five shots back following day one to win the title. After starting the day five strokes behind Trinity, the Panthers totaled a team score of 295 during Sunday's play for a combined two-day score of 591 (296-295). Trinity posted a team score of 302 in the second round to finish with a total of 593.

Individually, the battle for top honors turned into a fight among rookies, as Trinity's Will Rosenfield and Middlebury's Scott Guidotti entered the day separated by just two strokes atop the standings.
Guidotti shaved a stroke off his first-round score to card a two-under-par 70 and a two-day total of 141. Rosenfield was unable to replicate his first-round 69, turning in a round of 75 to close with a two-day score of 144.

Just four strokes behind Guidotti was Reid Buzby, who took home third-place honors with a 145, including a 70 on day two. Rodrigo Andrade tied for 11th with a 151 (75-76), while Philippe Morin came in with a 155 (75-80) to tie for 15th place. Bennett Doherty was next for the Panthers with a 161 (82-79), placing him in a tie for 26th.

Guidotti and Buzby both earned first-team All-ECAC honors, while Rodrigo held a spot on the second team.
