Golfstat Final Results
JURUPA VALLEY, Calif. - Sophomore Eirik Thomassen's top-20 finish paced the CSUN Men's Golf team to an eighth-place finish Tuesday at The Joust at Goose Creek at Goose Creek Golf Club.
The Matadors, who trailed only host California Baptist, Weber State and Morehead State following Monday's opening round, posted a second round 295 before posting a final round 301. CSUN wound up finishing eighth in the 15-team field at (+36) 888. Weber State (870) claimed the team championship by 10 shots over second place Morehead State (880). Â
After posting scores of 72-73 over Monday's two rounds, Thomassen closed with a four-over 75 to tie for 19th at seven-over 220. Thomassen birdied his opening hole and was still even though his first nine holes. Three straight bogeys dropped him to three-over before he birdied his 17th hole to get back to two-over. But a double bogey on his final hole left him at four-over 75 for the round and seven-over 220 for the tournament.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"We just didn't really get anything going today. It was good to see Thomas and Ian play well which will help their confidence. But it's still just an adjustment period for the team, we just need to relax and play golf. We'll put this one behind us and look forward to some warmer weather in Palm Desert."
The Matadors return to tournament play Mar. 2 as CSUN plays the first of three rounds of the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate in Palm Desert.
