BEACHWOOD, Ohio - After a 90-minute delay, rain forced the cancellation of today's scheduled final round of the Telich/Sunlife Financial CSU Invitational hosted by Cleveland State at Canterbury Golf Club. With the tournament shortened to a 36-hole event due to the inclement weather, Loyola University Chicago finishes eighth, with a team score of 605, in the 15-team field.

Players were able to get through six or seven holes before being taken off the course today and following a delay, the course was ruled unplayable. Thus, Malone earns the team title with a 581 and finishes six strokes ahead of Oakland (587). Justin Lower of Malone picks up medalist honors with a 36-hole mark of 141 (71-70).

Loyola's Dylan Gergen tied for 11th overall after putting up a 146 (73-73) yesterday and was followed up by Sean Collopy, who tied for 28th with a 151 (77-74). Freshman Alex Cusumano turned in his best round of the fall by tallying a four-over-par 75 in round two and he finished tied for 46th with a 155 (80-75). Sean Hickey put up a 156 (76-80) to tie for 51st and Nick Willenborg (78-79) and Brian Van De Motter (77-80) each notched a 157 to tie for 57th place overall.

The Ramblers close out the fall portion of the season when they compete at the UD Invitational hosted by the University of Dayton in Kettering, Ohio, Oct. 18-19.
