HAMILTON, N.Y. -- Despite shooting the lowest round of the day at 291, the Army West Point golf team placed second in the Patriot League Championships just six strokes behind the leader Loyola. Five Black Knights were named to the 2015 Patriot League Championship team due to their top 20 finishes. Marcus Plunkett led Army West Point with a tied for third finish.
Plunkett, Justin Pagila, Peter Kim, Eric Peng and Dean Sakata all finished in the top 14.
"I am proud of the way the team represented Army West Point," said head coach Brian Watts. "The Team battled hard until the end. It is a tough way to end the year knowing that we were only a few putts away from moving onto the NCAA Regionals. It will hopefully motivate our players to come back next fall with more fire in their bellies. This program is doing to miss senior captain Robby Hill. He's been a great leader on and off the course for the team. We are excited about the incoming class and the team will be ready to compete again next September."
The Black Knights totaled 295-282-291--868 to place second. They finished just six strokes behind the leader Loyola. The next-closest finisher was Colgate with 896 strokes.
Plunkett carded a 70-70-77--217 (+1) to tie for third. He shot 11 birdies on the weekend and was Army West Point's top finisher. Pagila placed sixth at three-over and Kim finished tied for eighth after tallying 225 strokes.
Eric Peng and Dean Sakata were both tied for 14th at nine-over. Robby Hill capped-off his four years with the team with a 234 strokes to finish in 30th place.
Kim sank his second eagle of the weekend in today's final round. Plunkett had the second-most birdies in the championship with 11.
Today's Patriot League Championship concludes Army West Point's 2014-15 season. The Black Knights won two tournaments and had two individual titles throughout the season.
