The Eastern Wyoming College golf team finished second at their home tournament played September 9-10 at Cottonwood golf course. The Lancers scored 582. Northeastern Junior College won the tournament with a two-day score of 577.
"We had some guys in our starting lineup this week that hadn't played in that role yet this year," said Coach Zach Smith. "There were plenty of positives to take away from their experience on the starting team and also those that played as individuals. Conrado has been working so hard, it was fun to see that pay off. Tim and Josh play great the second day, giving us a chance to bounce back after day 1 but we fell a little short. We are excited to get back out there this week in Sterling."
