SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Mercyhurst men's golf team finished in a tie for sixth place at the ECAC Division II Championships, hosted by LeMoyne. Brendan Flood led the Laker contingent with a two-day total of 149, which tied for 13th.

Mercyhurst tied for sixth with a two-day total of 607 in a tightly packed field. Just 12 strokes ahead of the Lakers was the champion, C.W. Post, with a 595.
