WILMINGTON, Del. -- A 1-over-par 73 from junior Brian Bartow (Rye, N.Y./Rye Neck) helped the Bucknell men's golf team move up into the top five in the team standings at the Scotty Duncan Invitational, which wrapped up Sunday at White Clay Creek GC.
Bartow's outstanding finishing round put him in eighth place individually with a 36-hole total of 149. After a 309 on Saturday, Bucknell closed with a 306 team total, the fourth-best in the 16-team field on Sunday.
Behind Bartow, Andrew Cohen (Mamaroneck, N.Y./Mamaroneck) and Ben Mattingly (Fishers, Ind./Park Tudor) both shot 77, while Jeff Pike (Rye, N.Y./Rye) and Will Bachman (Wellesley, Mass./Wellesley) carded 79s.
Seton Hall backed up its first-round 288 with a 293 and held off runner-up Delaware by two shots. The Blue Hens did claim the individual champion, as Colin Smith fired a 5-under 67 on Sunday to finish 7-under for the tournament. He was six strokes ahead of David Sampson of Seton Hall.
Monmouth and Drexel tied for third at 614, while Bucknell and Rutgers were just a single shot behind at 615. Iona took seventh at 620, followed by Lehigh (623), Cornell (623), Mount St. Mary's (624), Fairfield (624), Goldey-Beacom (639), Fairleigh Dickinson (644), Lafayette (648) and Hofstra (657).
