Following not too closely behind, senior David Hicks had a three-stroke deficit to Campbell with a 146 (+2). Shining on the first day, sophomore Trevor Hecht had a low score of 71 (-1) in the round two lineup but not before he was able to record an eagle on the par-4-hole No. 1.
Entering round three, senior David Hicks took the spotlight as he fired the College’s best round that day, going under par for the second time in the three rounds with a 71 (-1). This round was his sixth of the season to be at or below par. He was able to finish the event with an even 215 and place sixth in the individual scoreboard.
