ONEONTA, Ala. - Rain and lightning forced the postponement today of the final round of the Samford Invitational at Limestone Springs Golf Club. Earlier this morning, the 18-team field completed the second round of action that was suspended because of darkness yesterday. Loyola University Chicago's men's golf team placed 17th overall, with a score of 618 (321-297) in the 36-hole tournament.

The Ramblers improved on their team score from yesterday's opening round, with Sean Collopy and Erik Hoops each shooting a one-over-par 73 today. Dylan Gergen notched a two-over 74 in the second round, while Sean Hickey posted a 77. The tournament field was able to complete nearly 15 holes today before the final round was called off.

Collopy led all Ramblers with a 36-hole score of 151 (78-73) which earned him a tie for 38th place overall, and Gergen finished right on his heels, earning a 46th-place showing with a 152 (78-74). Hoops wound up tied for 59th with a 155 (82-73), while Hickey tied for 78th with a 160 (83-77). Freshman Alex Cusumano also competed for Loyola and registered a two-day score of 173 (86-87) to finish in 91st place.

Central Arkansas captured the tournament title with a team score of 562 (274-288), easily topping Alabama JV (293-287). Hunter Slatton of Alabama JV won a scorecard tiebreaker with Central Arkansas' Steven Lecuyer as both players an eight-under 136 for the tournament.

Loyola is back in action March 28-29 when it competes at the Butler Spring Invitational.
