Tigers Take Second Place At NCAC Championships
The Wittenberg men's golf team capped off the 2021 season at the North Coast Athletic Conference Championships from the Denison Golf Club in Granville, OH, and the Westbrook Country Club in Mansfield, OH. The Tigers closed out the two days of competition with a two-day team score of 616(+44), earning a second-place finish amongst the field of 9 teams. Wittenberg posted a +35 on the final day of action with a final two-day score of 293 and 323.
In addition to the Tigers finishing second-place, freshman J.F. Aber and sophomore Evan DiSanto earned 2nd Team All-NCAC. Aber carded a score of 76 both days for a total of 152(+7) and DiSanto wrapped up day two with a 79(+7) for a two-day total of 153(+8). In the two rounds combined, Aber registered 3 total birdies, while DiSanto finished with 4 birdies.
The Red & White also found two more Tigers on the All-NCAC Honorable Mention. Will Birkholz and Daniel Castleberry finished with identical scores after day two to find themselves tied for 11th place and a part of the All-NCAC Honorable Mention team. The two combined for 15 birdies over the two-day event.
DiSanto was the most consistent Tiger throughout the whole season as he averaged a score of 73.0 over 6 rounds during the 2021 regular season. DiSanto played his best round of the year at Oakhaven Golf Club in Delaware, Ohio on April 10 when he shot a 69(-2).
As the NCAC Runner-Ups, the Tigers will have to wait until the selection process to see if they will receive a bid into the 2021 NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships.
