JURUPA VALLEY, Calif. - Felix Schrott posted his second top-10 finish of the season to lead the CSUN men's golf team to a fifth-place finish Tuesday at The Joust at Goose Creek.

Schrott, who began the final round tied for the lead, struggled at the outset of Tuesday's final round. The CSUN senior was 6-over after his opening seven holes before an eagle at No. 12 moved him to 4-over. Schrott then played his final 10 holes at 1-over to finish the day at 5-over 76 which dropped him into a tie for sixth at 1-over 214 for the tournament.

As a team, the Matadors followed up rounds of 283 and 291 on Monday with a final round 295 on Tuesday to finish fifth in the team competition at 17-over 869. Cal State Fullerton fired a final round 281 to move past UC Irvine to win the team title at 3-over 855. The Anteaters (859) finished second while host California Baptist (865) and Gonzaga (868) rounded out the top five in the 13-team field.

CSUN SCORES

Paul-Louis Gachet wound up with his second top-20 finish of the season after tying for 11th at 4-over 217. Gachet began the day tied for fourth before slipping seven spots on the leaderboard following a final round 76. Gachet had three birdies on Tuesday, all on the back nine.
Brandon McDonough also posted his second top-20 finish of the season, finishing in a tie for 16th at 5-over 218. McDonough led CSUN with five birdies in the final round and was 2-under after 15 holes. But he would finish bogey-par-par to finish a round of 1-under 71.
Eirik Thomassen had a pair of birdies and 13 pars on Tuesday to finish at 2-over 73 which vaulted him 16 spots up the leaderboard into a tie for 34th at 11-over 224.
Nick Fowlkes followed up rounds of 72-77 on Monday with a second consecutive 77 on Tuesday to finish in a tie for 42nd at 13-over 226.
Thomas Burou, competing as an individual, had CSUN's low round of the day on Tuesday, firing a final round 69 which matched Gachet's 69 from round two. Burou wound up tied for 56th at 17-over 230 following rounds of 78-83-69.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"I think we hit the ball better than we scored today, the guys were just disappointed in their execution. We just didn't get up and down the last part of round two and again today. It's certainly not the way we wanted to finish, but it's just our first spring tournament. We'll have to step up and play well at our next event, the Wyoming tournament is a very strong field but the guys know we're capable of playing well."

The Matadors will be back in action Mar. 1 with the first of three rounds at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate at The Classic Club in Palm Desert.
