Men’s golf started their season with a statement, placing nineth out of 18 teams at the Messiah College Fall Invitational.
Finishing the day in the middle of the pack in the tournament’s line up was better than it sounds.
They faced nationally ranked teams and more importantly were able to come in above the two other CSAC teams that were there that day.
Senior captain Pat Rooney stressed that heat and humidity were the day’s toughest obstacles, affecting some of the other teams golfers to the point of collapse.
When asked what the remainder of the year has in store for the Cavs, Rooney said, “We have two great freshmen that we can expect big things from.”
One of the two started the year off with Cabrini’s best score in the tournament. Freshman Michael Rojas came in just eight over par, tying for 18th out of 92 individual competitors.
Rooney expressed that he is confident with the team’s abilities and is enthused about the play of their strong junior class as well.
Going into their upcoming invitationals they plan to display a strong game, proving early to be a threatening force in the CSAC.
The Cavaliers are back on the greens on Sept. 23 where they will play in the Franklin and Marshall College Fall Invitational at the Bent Creek Country Club. The start time is 12:30 p.m.
