SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The Missouri State men's golf team placed fifth Tuesday (Mar. 21) at its own Missouri State Intercollegiate, while senior Carter Lee also tied for fifth to take top individual honors for the Bears. With play having been suspended due to darkness Monday evening, teams completed their second rounds Tuesday morning and moved straight on to final round play in a steady rain and temperatures in the upper 30's.

The Bears posted 293-280-296--869 in three trips around the par 71, 6644-yard Millwood Golf & Racquet Club to place fifth in the 15-team field. Oral Roberts rallied to overtake Wichita State for the team title by two shots, 854-856, with Northern Illinois finishing third at 864 and Kansas City fourth with 867. Central Arkansas (880), Northern Iowa (881), SIUE (884), Belmont (890) and Omaha (891) rounded out the top 10.

Lee fired 72-69-72--213, even par, over two days to lead the way for MSU and tie for fifth, while Max Kreikemeier tied for eighth, a stroke back with 74-69-71--214. Junior Eric Schuessler was next for MSU, tying for 26th after shooting 74-67-79--220, while senior Austin Gillund tied for 46th (73-76-77--226) and JP Lavalle placed 60th (80-75-76--231). Freshmen Christian Rischer and Owen Swearingen shot 77-85-74--236 and 83-77-77--237, respectively.

The Bears are off next week and return to action Apr. 3 at the Arkansas Quad in Fayetteville, Ark.
