HANOVER TWP., Pa. – Freshman Liam Burtis (Binghamton, N.Y./Seton Catholic Central) shot a 73 (+3) for the second straight match and The University of Scranton men's golf team captured the team title at the King's Quad Match on Wednesday at Wyoming Valley Country Club.
The Royals won the team title with a score of 302 (+22), 28 strokes ahead of the second place finisher Misericordia at 330 (+50). Rounding out the team standings were Wilkes at 337 (+57) and the host Monarchs at 338 (+58).
