KINGSTON, N.Y. – The Holy Cross men's golf team brought home the team championship at the Roar-EE Invitational while senior Christian Emmerich earned his first collegiate tournament victory Saturday.

The Crusaders won their first tournament since the Lehigh Invitational on October 19. 2019. Holy Cross totaled a 281 (-7) showing narrowly beating out Penn (282, -6) and Cornell (282, -6) for the top spot on the par-72, 6,685 yard, Wiltwyck Golf Club course.

Christian Emmerich earned co-medalist honors with Dino Capazario (Hofstra). Emmerich produced a 67 (-5) scorecard which was a team low.

Freshman Brian Glennon notched a top-10 finish shooting a 69 (-3) good enough for a share of sixth place. Glennon produced six birdies, the second most in the field of golfers. Sophomore Owen Egan joined his teammates in the top-12 at 70 (-2) rounding out the top-20 finishes for the Crusaders.

COACH'S CORNER:
"I'm extremely pleased with the team's performance in the tournament and have been so throughout the year," said Director of Golf, Steve Napoli. "We talk about winning all the time, how difficult it is to win a college tournament and the culture, dedication and confidence it takes to win. We also talk about the success that Coach Chesney (football), Coach Magarity (women's basketball) and Coach Riga (men's hockey) have brought to their programs and Holy Cross. One of our team goals has been to get to the level of the more successful teams on campus. I'm also extremely pleased to see Christian Emmerich win his first college tournament by shooting five under par (67) on a difficult golf course."
