All four of the Eph top scorers, including two freshman, finished the day in the top ten.
"Great job in very challenging weather today - rain, high winds and very cool temperatures," noted Eph head coach Rick Pohle.
Individually, two freshmen, Tony Liu and Mike Stone. Lia was consistent all day on his way to a four-over 75, while Mike Stone and junior Dylan Dethier continued their fine form this fall, each posting twin 77's.
Junior Matt McCarron rounded out the score for the squad with a 78 and sophomore Jake Goldenring struggled to get something going in his round; he finished with 82.
"It was nice to see everyone stay focused and work to produce a quality score. Outstanding effort by our two first year players who were playing in their first away varsity match."
