Indiana University-East recently issued the following announcement.
It was a weekend of milestones for the Indiana University East men's golf program at the Lindsey Wilson College Blue Raider Invitational, which concluded March 20.
The Red Wolves finished fourth in the 11-team event with a 54-hole score of 884 - the IU East program's record-low team score for a 54-hole event.
The Red Wolves completed their first event of the spring season with several more program-bests:
* IU East posted the lowest team score of the tournament's second round with a 287 - a program-best 18-hole spring team score.
