Three Leopards land in the top 25

KINGSTON, N.Y. - Senior Harry Dessel powered his way to second place on Saturday at the Roar-EE Invitational, hosted by Columbia. He fired off rounds of 67 and 70 to card a seven-under-par 137.

The Leopards (-5) were one of five teams to finish under par. The Maroon and White shot 571 to finish in fifth in the 15-team field.

Sophomore Reed Theiss (E) landed in 20th following rounds of 73 and 71 at the par-72, 6,790-yard Wyltwyck Golf Club. Classmate Travis Robertson (72-73) finished with a one-over-par 145 to rest in a tie for 24th. Freshman Viktor Kofod-Olsen wrapped up the invitational in 35th following rounds of 72 and 74 for a two-over-par 146. Winston Kelenc-Blank (148) placed t-52. Michael DiNapoli represented the Leopards as an individual, shooting six-over-par 150 for 63rd.
