MEN'S GOLF TEAM TO PLAY DOWN SOUTH NOV. 1-3

RICHMOND, Ky. -- The Eastern Kentucky University men's golf team will round out its 1998 fall season November 1-3 at the First South Intercollegiate in Florence, SC.

The Colonels won the tournament last year and are hoping to repeat their success.

"Most of our guys are familiar with the course, and hopefully, we will be a top finisher," EKU golf coach Pat Stephens said.

The team is coming off of a disappointing performance at the University of Louisville Persimmon Ridge Invitational. The men finished 17th out of 20 teams, shooting a 645 overall.

Eric Willenbrink led all EKU scores with a 159 for the two-day tournament.

"We didn't play very well, but it was one of the toughest courses we have played," Stephens said.
