LITITZ, Pa. – The Salisbury University men's golf team endured another afternoon of elements as it sits middle-of-the-pack following round one of the Franklin & Marshall Spring Invitational on Sunday at Bent Creek Country Club.
The Sea Gulls carded a 41-over 325 for the day, good for 10th in a deep field of 15 teams. SU lines up within three strokes of the seventh-place F&M C-team (322) and even closer to eighth-place Lancaster Bible (323) and ninth-place Lebanon Valley (324), while 11th-place Muhlenberg and Chestnut Hill (328) both sit well back.
