The Eastern Wyoming College Lancer golf team won the tournament hosted by Lamar Community College, March 24-25. The Lancers finished with a score of 571. Northeastern Junior College was 2nd with 580.
"It felt great to walk away with a team win after our first Region IX spring tournament. They guys played great on the first day to have a narrow lead going into day 2," said Coach Zach Smith. "The cold and windy conditions lead to a higher scoring average on the second day but we were able to buckle down and come away with a team win. It was also great to see Russel tie for the individual win. He actually chipped in on the final hole to end the tournament 3 under and tied for the win."
