Franklin Pierce Captures Home Spring Invite
Worcester State's Nick Lombardi earns medallist honors with record round
RINDGE, N.H. (April 25, 2007) - Franklin Pierce captured its home Spring Invitational on Wednesday at the par-71 Shattuck Golf Club.
Franklin Pierce posted a 325 team score to edge Worcester State College (326) by one stroke, while Elms College placed third (335).
Worcester State sophomore Nick Lombardi (North Grafton, Mass.) earned medallist honors at the event as he carded a two-over-par 73 - the lowest round by an individual since Franklin Pierce has been hosting events on the tough mountain course at the base of Mount Monadnock. Lombardi played the back nine at even-par 35. Elms' Jim Hurlbut placed second with a round of 78 (39-39), while Franklin Pierce's Josh Lupinek (East Haddam, Conn./Nathan Hale-Ray) was third with a score of 80 (42-38).
Freshman Peter Panopoulos (Rindge, N.H./Jaffrey) placed fourth overall for the Ravens with a round of 81. Junior Kevin Rossi (Kingston, N.Y./Kingston) and freshman Brandon Weiner (Marlboro, N.J./Marlboro) each posted an 82 to finish in a tie for sixth overall.
Franklin Pierce is back on the links on Friday when it participates in the Elms College Blazer Invitational, at Chicopee Country Club in Massachusetts.
