LEBANON - Junior Ben Sisler shot a team-best 3-over 75 in leading the Corban College golf team to a season-low 317 at the Corban Three-Way against Concordia University and Linfield College at Mallard Creek Golf Course.

Despite a solid performance from Corban`s top three players – Sisler, senior Craig Paulsen, and senior Jason Swank – it was not enough, as Concordia shot a match-low 12-over 300 en route to winning the three-team event.

Paulsen shot a season-low 5-over 77, while Swank came in two strokes higher at 7-over 79. Freshman Nathan Furumasu rounded out the Warrior scoring with a 14-over 86, while sophomores Josh Greenslade and Chad Emmert turned in rounds of 23-over 95.

Greenslade was the alternate in Corban`s scoring, while Emmert shot as an individual.

Concordia was led by Marc Arima`s 1-over 73, while Tyler Austin and Matt Guthrie each carted a 2-over 74.

Craig Dehning and Chris Slaton rounded out the Cavalier scoring with 7-over 79s. Dehning`s score counted in the overall total for Concordia, while Slaton came in as the alternate.

Linfield was anchored by Andrew Fitch`s 3-over 75, while Trevor Phillips and Jeff Nigro each shot a 4-over 76. Daniel Goudsmit rounded out the Wildcat scoring with a 5-over 77, while Kyle Henderson carted a 6-over 78 as the alternate member of Linfield`s squad.

The Cavaliers` Dan Scobie turned in a round of 6-over 78, as Concordia`s second individual golfer. Linfield`s Charles Kintner shot an 8-over 80 as an individual for the Wildcats.

Corban will hit the links again on Thursday, April 20th, when they compete in the Concordia Three-Way with Concordia University and Central Washington University.
