The College of Wooster men's golf team turned in a consistent weekend as the Fighting Scots followed Saturday's round of 313 up with a 312 on Sunday to finish at 625 and in fifth-place on the leaderboard at the Ohio Northern University Spring Invitational held at the par-71, 6788-yard Colonial Golfers Club in Harrod, Ohio.

Div. II Tiffin University led the field with a 595, 13 strokes clear of runner-up Ohio Northern. Brandon Hoelzer of Lourdes University earned medalist honors with a 1-over-par 143.

Sophomore Andrew DeLaat anchored Wooster's lineup with a 153 on the weekend. DeLaat, who tied for 11th-place, opened with a 76 on Saturday and turned in a 77 on Sunday. In fact, four of the Scots' five-golfer lineup had a one-stroke difference on their cards on the weekend.

Senior Scott Sears turned in the Scots' second-lowest Saturday round at 77, and finished with a 78 on Sunday for a 155 on the weekend that placed him in a tie for 18th.
