The IUP Crimson Hawks edged out West Chester in Monday's Dr. Edwin B. Cottrell Invite during an exciting playoff hole. The win marks their sixth title this season and second in the spring.
Both teams shot a 616, but IUP's golfers had an aggregate score of par on the playoff hole compared to West Chester shooting 2 over.
IUP bested rivals Clarion and Gannon by more than 10 shots in the tournament.
Brad Boyle led IUP by shooting a nine over and finishing third behind West Chester's Connor Lefever and Clarion's Ross Pringle.
Boyle lost the first place lead by two shots after battling back from being down five shots in the first round.
Derek Baker was not too far off from the lead either. Baker finished with an 11 over, only four shots back from Lefever.
Zack Kempa improved from a poor showing at the Pizza Barton tournament. Kempa shot a 12 over par; which tied him for sixth.
Leo Acklin finished 10th with a 17 over. Sean Sweithelm tied for 17th with 20 over par.
All of the Crimson Hawks golfers finished in the top 20 in the standings. They are heating up and should make a run in the upcoming tournaments.
