CASCO, Maine –The University of Maine at Farmington men's golf team placed fifth at the ninth annual John Queenan Memorial Tournament, hosted by Saint Joseph's College at Point Sebago Golf Resort on Tuesday.
Husson University featured four of the top five golfers and posted a 296 team card to win the tournament. University of New England (321), University of Southern Maine (334), Saint Joseph's (341), UMF (346) and Daniel Webster College (368) rounded out the group of participating institutions.
Jacob Roddy (Belgrade, Maine) was the Beavers' top finisher at 83. Roddy was followed by Orion Cochrane (Greenville, Maine) at 87, Cameron Audet (Windham, Maine) at 88, Joe Messerman (Brunswick, Maine) at 88 and Mike Lawson (Williamsburg, Maine) at 92.
Eagles senior Tim Carlson (Mars Hill, Maine) collected medalist honors with a 73 card (37-36) while three golfers shared the runner-up spot as Husson's Chris Hamel (Waterville, Maine) and David Dubois '15 (Island Falls, Maine) and Southern Maine's A.J. Simokaitis (Falmouth, Maine) all shot a 74 in the yearly event.
For Husson, the Queenan crown is the sixth in nine tries. An Eagles' player has garnered medalist accolades for four consecutive years and seven of the nine years in which the tourney has been hosted by St. Joe's overall. Also, the 296 team score ties the tournament-low originally registered by Husson in 2007.
The tournament is hosted by St. Joe's on an annual basis in memory of John Queenan, a 2003 graduate of Bow High School who died tragically in an automobile accident just prior to the beginning of his freshman year at Saint Joseph's.
