Sierra College Men’s Golf Wins Big 8 Conference Championship!
The team set some lofty goals at the beginning of season and it was exciting to see them accomplish two impressive goals today. One was to REPEAT a Conference Championship and two, to qualify 3 to “All League”. Performing to our motto of the year, “6 to 360”, the guys finally came together with a TOTAL TEAM effort shooting a Sierra College Men’s Golf record of 6 under par 354. With this outstanding round, we qualified 5 Sierra Men to the top 10 and knocked down our second Conference Championship.
Lead by Sophomores Steve Riley 69 and Robbie Bendorf 71, Wes Sandroni also kept it in the red with his 1 under par 71. Rounding out the team scoring was Austin Fink and A J Hasegawa’s even par 72’s.
Coach Tim said “I was impressed with the total team effort, their focus and heart to get the job done. Now, I know they believe me when I preach “6 to 360”!
The team is peaking at the right time and this dominate win will help prepare us as we get ready for Mondays Nor Cal Championship at Brookside Country Club in Stockton, California. Hopefully, we will continue our forward lean and capture another goal of REPEATING a Nor Cal Championship. Great job guys.
