GLENSIDE, Pa. – Led by a top-20 finish by sophomore Owen Egan, the Holy Cross men's golf team placed 12th at the Wildcat Spring Invitational hosted by Villanova.

Egan fired a team-low 145 (+3) and a 71 (E) second round on the par 71 6,484 yard Lulu Country Club course for a share of 18th place. Egan was one of three Crusader golfers to record an eagle (Freshman Matthew Williams, freshman Brian Glennon) over the course of the tournament.

COACH'S CORNER:
"Hosted by Villanova University, the Wildcat Invitational was the first of three tournaments that we will compete in over a nine-day period," said Director of Golf Steve Napoli. "Though this was not the result we hoped for, the team continues to improve and focus on the Patriot League Championship in Maryland at the end of this month.  Overall we need more putts to fall to improve."

UP NEXT:

• Holy Cross will compete next at the Roar-EE Invitational hosted by Columbia on Saturday, April 15.
