KENNEBUNKPORT, ME - The Saint Joseph's College golf team placed fifth with a 337 score in the University of New England Invitational at Cape Arundel Golf Club on Monday. Kevin Richardson '14 (Coventry, Conn.) paced the Monks with a 72 (38-34) and finished tied for third overall.

Endicott College and UNE finished the 18-hole event tied with 298 team cards, but the Gulls were awarded top team honors after edging out the Nor'easters based on the scores of the fifth players from each squad (80-81).

Jack Wyman earned the medalist honors on the day by shooting a 1-over-par 70 to lead Endicott, which captured the event for the third straight season. The Gulls reached their team total with a trio of 76's behind Wyman.

The University of Southern Maine received a pair of 74's to help settle on a 304 total in third, while a 71 from Jacob Roddy combined with a 73 from Orion Cochrane guided the University of Maine-Farmington (309) to a fourth-place finish.

For the Monks, Colin Finn '14 (North Easton, Mass.) shot an 84 (44-40), T.J. Garske '12 (Federal Way, Wash.) posted an 86 (41-45), Kyle Bennett '12 (Yarmouth, Maine) carded a 95 (45-50) and Nick Zwald '13 (Campton, N.H.) added a 108 (53-55).

Richardson's 72 card is the lowest score by a Monks golfer since Matt Cotreau '10 shot a 69 at the UNE Invitational during the 2007 campaign.

Saint Joseph's will host the GNAC Championship this weekend at the Gorham Country Club. Tee time is slated for 10:00 AM on both days.
