In addition, senior Jeff Martin shot an 84 and sophomore Cole LeMay shot an 86 to round out the Wolfpack’s top four.

For East Ridge, junior Travis Dorf led the way with an 80, followed by junior Brady Hanson who scored an 82. Sophomore Jack Caron (86) and junior Thomas Tuohy (87) rounded out the Raptors’ top four.
