FAU Golf Teams to Conclude Fall Seasons at Stetson Tournament

Nov. 2, 2009

The Florida Atlantic University men's and women's golf teams will conclude the fall schedule by competing in the Stetson University Tournament on Monday, November 2 and Tuesday, November 3, at the Victoria Hills Country Club in Deland.

The men's golf team is coming off a championship in the Bethune-Cookman Tournament that took place October 23-25 and a second-place finish at the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles Golf Invitational on October 12-13 - ranking the team 97th in the country by Golfweek magazine. FAU is the fourth highest team among Florida's Division I squads.

Individually, senior Ben Silverman leads the team with a 71.5 scoring average and has finished second individually in both of the team's October tournaments. The Thornhill, Ontario native carded a career-low 65 in the second round of the Bethune-Cookman Tournament. He has the fifth lowest scoring average in the Sun Belt Conference during the fall campaign.

Sophomore Carl McCauley is coming off a three-under-par 69 score and junior Kelly McHugh fired a 68 to help the Owls win the Bethune-Cookman Tournament by 16 strokes.

On the women's side, the team is fresh off a 12th place showing at the Pat Bradley Invitational that took place October 9-11. The tournament featured a strong field of South and Midwest teams. FAU is competing in its fourth tournament this fall and won the Lady Eagles Golf Invitational on September 21-22 for its first tournament title since 2007.

Senior Jennifer Norton leads the women's team with a 77.7 scoring average over 12 rounds this fall. That score was helped by strong, back-to-back rounds of 72 and 73 over the 54-hole in the Pat Bradley Invitational.

Freshman Marilyne Cadieux has shot a round in the 70s in both tournaments she has entered and Elisabetta Bertini shot her lowest round of the season, an even-par 72, last weekend.

The Stetson University Tournament will feature 36 holes on the first day and then a final 18-hole round on the second.
