SOUTH KENT, Conn. – With one round under its belt, the Army West Point golf team ranks tied for sixth at the Hartford Hawks Invitational with a one-over score of 289.

"I'm proud of the way the guys played today," head coach Chad Bagley said. "With 20 teams and over 110 players, it was a long day trying to get 36 holes in. We've got two holes to finish up round two tomorrow morning, but I'm very pleased with the poise and focus our cadet-athletes demonstrated all day. We've got great senior leadership on the team; but it's also great to see that our plebe class is already developing."

James McKee leads the Black Knights with a one-under score of 71 to rank tied for 12th. Nick Turner is also tied for the 22nd spot with an even score of 72.

Matt Plunkett and Dean Sakata are both tied for 35th place with 73 strokes each to be one-over after the first day of competition. Joseph Gerardi closed out the Black Knight finishers on the day with a score of 82 (+10).

The second round was called due to darkness and will be completed on Tuesday, along with the final round. The day is set to kick off at 8 a.m.

Central Florida is in the lead after the first round at -15, while Towson (-5) and Connecticut (-3) rounded out the top three.
