COMPLETE RESULTS

ETOWAH, N.C. - The Winston-Salem State University Rams men's golf team posted a team aggregate total of 342, 14 strokes better than Monday's opening-round performance en route to finishing in 10^th place on Tuesday afternoon at the Second Annual Independent Collegiate Golf Invitational hosted by Brevard College played at Etowah Valley Golf Club in Etowah, N.C.

Tuesday saw the Rams return to action as they took to the course at Etowah Valley Golf Club's South Course, a par 72, 7,096-yard course that has earned distinction as one of Golf Digest's Top-100 golf destinations in much more favorable weather conditions. 

The pleasant weather helped the Rams make up 14 strokes over Monday's 356 as Winston-Salem State turned in a cumulative score of 342, good enough for a two-day total of 698 as the Rams leap-frogged North Carolina Central University, finishing the competition in sole possession of 10^th place.

The Rams were led by Joshua Sherrell for the second consecutive day as Sherrell posted an 11-opver par round of 83 en route to a tie for 45^th in the individual medalist portion of the competition.

Lance Holmes tallied an 84; Steven Mason recorded an 85; Zachary Yelder tallied a 90 and Jerrell Fields rounded out the scoring with a 91.

The Rams' total of 698 earns them a 10^th-place finish following Tuesday's final round at Etowah Valley G.C.

WSSU returns to action May 9-11, 2008 in Port Saint Lucie, Florida as they close out their 2008 season at the PGA Minority Golf Championships.
