Posted: Sep 27, 2019

GORHAM, Maine -- Seniors Ryan Dee (Houlton, Maine) and Greg Kalagias (Saco, Maine) combined for a 4-under par 67 as the University of Southern Maine Huskies won the annual USM Cup for the fourth consecutive year Friday afternoon at the Gorham CC.

The USM Cup is a unique event on the Monks' schedule featuring pairs of golfers playing six holes of best ball, six holes of scramble, and six holes of alternate shot formats. The tournament win was the fourth straight for the Huskies, and sixth in seven events, this season.

Southern Maine took the team trophy with a score of 204 as all three pairs posted scores in the 60's. USM's team score was one shot off the event record set by the Huskies last year.

The University of New England was runner-up with a score of 217, followed by Saint Joseph's College at 225 and the University of Maine at Farmington at 241.

For the Monks, freshmen Trevor Flanagan (Monmouth, Maine) and Sean McDonough combined to shoot a 72, Tyler Johnson (Windham, Maine) and Cody Rizzo (West Gardiner, Maine) notched a 76, and Brendan Donovan (Auburn, Maine) and Brian Maguire (Braintree, Mass.) carded a 77.

The Monks are back out on the links next Thursday (October 3) playing in the Maine Maritime Academy Mariner Golf Invitational at Augusta CC.
