in fourth place at the Lonnie Barton Invitational held in Savannah, Ga.
The Crimson Hawks had a two-day team score of
613 and two of the three teams they trailed were Division I schools.
Towson won the tournament at 597, followed by South Carolina Beaufort (604)
and Longwood (609).
IUP, ranked No. 1 in the East Region at the
conclusion of the fall season, shot a 298 on Tuesday, just one shy of the
best team score of the day.
Gavin Smith, the medalist at the PSAC
tournament in October when IUP won the team title, tied for fifth at the
Lonnie Barton at six-over par 150. Smith shot an even par 72 in the

the Crimson Hawks in the fall, tied for ninth, one stroke behind Smith at
151.
