Red Wolves - IU East

KENDALLVILLE, Ind. - If the Indiana University East men's golf team made a movie about the University of St. Francis Invitational, they might well call it "Tough and Tougher."

The Red Wolves finished 11th out of 12 teams at the two-day tournament, which concluded Aug. 31.

The opening round was held at the difficult Cobblestone Golf Course.

The final round took place on an even tougher layout at Noble Hawk Golf Links.

"A really tough course," said Red Wolves coach Von Ebeling. "All of the guys were saying it was one of the toughest courses they had played.

"The greens were running fast again, and the fairways were quite narrow, especially on the back nine."

The Red Wolves carded a 337 in the final round on the par 71, 6,817-yard course at Noble Hawk.

IU East finished with a two-day total of 667.

Freshman Wes Drees (Versailles, Ohio/Versailles High School) led IU East with a two-day score of 154. Drees led IU East with a 76 in the final round. He tied for 26th place.

Nick Ary (Brookville, Ohio/Brookville High School) shot 162, including an 81 in the final round. He finished 45th.

Derrick McNeely (Connersville, Ind./Connersville High School) shot 175, including a 93 in the final round. He finished 73rd.

Zack Palmer (Richmond, Ind./Richmond High School) shot 176, including an 87 in the final round. He finished 74th.

Brandon Loomis (Union City, Ind./Union City Community High School) shot 192, including a 100 in the final round. He finished 83rd.

Cornerstone University won the event with a two-day score of 596.
