BANDON, OR – LC State Men’s Golf earned a spot in the championship round of the Bandon Crossings Collegiate match play tournament with a 3.5-0.5 victory over Simpson (Calif.) in Monday’s semifinal. Only one of the four matches went all 18 holes.
“Solid day for the Warriors,” coach Zach Anderson said. “We had a good game plan going into the matches and kept a solid lead most of the day.

Excited for the opportunity to watch the fellas play again.”
