STOCKTON, Calif. - The CSUN Men's Golf team carded a blistering team total of 269 to move into the top-six at the conclusion of the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational Saturday at Stockton Golf & Country Club.

At 15-under 269, the Matadors set a 31-year program record for 18 holes. Since team records were recorded in the 1990-91 season, CSUN's previous low team total was 275 set at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic in 2010. CSUN finished in a tie for sixth with Sacramento State at 13-under 839 for the tournament.

Senior Blake Brothers, competing as an individual, was CSUN's low scorer at seven-under 206. Brothers had his best round of the tournament Saturday, finishing at six-under 65 to tie for 10th. It marked the second top-10 finish in four tournaments for Brothers this season.

Washington State led from start to finish to claim the team championship at 36-under 816, one shot ahead of St. Mary's (817). The Cougars' Max Sekulic fired a nine-under 62 in the final round to win by one shot.

CSUN SCORES

Felix Schrott also finished in the top-20 after firing a round of 66 on Saturday. Schrott wound up tied for 14th at six-under 207 following rounds of 72-69-66.
Eirik Thomassen, who opened the day in ninth place, finished the final round at one-over 72 to finish in a tie for 17th at five-under 208 following rounds of 68-68-72.
Paul-Louis Gachet also had his best round of the tournament Saturday as his final round 67 moved him into a tie for 31st at one-under 212 following rounds of 70-75-67.
Nick Fowlkes had the low round of any CSUN player, firing a final round seven-under 64 to finish in a tie for 37th at even-par 213 following rounds of 77-72-64.
Brandon McDonough, also competed as an individual, followed up rounds of 73-72 with a final round 73 to tie for 61st at five-over 218.
Thomas Burou completed the Matador scoring, tying for 78th at (+12) 225 following rounds of 79-74-72.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"I was a total team effort today and our depth really showed. We had three guys under-par. Blake played as an individual and finished in the top-10 while Felix hit the ball well the entire tournament and for a freshman to shoot 64, Nick was awesome today. Eirik was in position for a top-five finish and one hole kind of changed his round but it was another nice tournament for him."

CSUN will play its final tournament of the Fall next week as the Matadors travel to Ka'anapali, Maui for the Ka'anapali Classic Collegiate Invitational (Oct. 29-31).
