ONU senior Pat Helman played in the No. 1 spot on Saturday in honor of his four years on the squad.

"It was kind our little Senior Day celebration to have Pat play No. 1 today," ONU head coach Chad Bucci said. "He has been a tremendous supporter of the program for four years and welcomed me when I took over at the beginning of the year. We played him at No. 1 and the entire team was there to greet him as he walked off the 18th hole."

Freshmen Tyler Davis and Blaine Ricketts tied for 15th with 162s on the par-72, 6545-yard course.

Sophomore Rick Deichert tied for 19th with an 163, junior Ted Loewendick tied for 42nd with an 171, sophomore Brandon Lambert tied for 49th with an 172 and Helman was 69th with an 186.
