GUILFORD WINS THIRD STRAIGHT ODAC GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
Bluefield, VA (04/23/02)
-- Guilford College sophomore Dave Patterson (Fort Pierce, FL/Fort Pierce
Central) shot one over-par 71 Tuesday and claimed medalist honors as his
Quakers captured the 2002 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Golf
Championship at Fincastle Country Club. Guilford fired a second-round 301
for a two-day total of 599, five strokes ahead of runner-up Washington and Lee's
604.
Guilford is the first team in league history to win three
consecutive ODAC golf titles and has won six ODAC championships since joining
the league in 1992.
Patterson carded Tuesday's low round and
finished with a two-round 142. Washington and Lee's Chip Campbell finished
second with a two-day 147, two shots better than Guilford seniors Andrew
Biggadike (Ridgewood, NJ/Ridgewood) and Savio Nazareth (Orlando,
FL/Phillips (Brevard JC)). The top six finishers received
All-Tournament recognition.
Guilford's Nazareth earned his second straight ODAC
Player of the Year Award and joined Patterson and Biggadike on the
All-ODAC team. Head coach Jack Jensen won his third straight ODAC
Coach of the Year prize, which ties him with former Washington and Lee mentor
Buck Leslie and former Lynchburg coach Bill Shellenberger as the league's only
six-time coach of the year honorees.
The Quakers, ranked first in the latest Golfstat Division III
Head-to-Head Standings and second in the Precept Division III Coaches' poll,
await the announcement of the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament
field. Nebraska Wesleyan will host this year's event at the Firethorn Golf
Club in Lincoln, NE, May 16-19. Guilford finished second at last year's
national tournament by one stroke to Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
