Culver-Stockton College earns National Tournament Bid

The Culver-Stockton College men's golf team battled wet and rainy conditions to capture the 2014 Heart of America Athletic Conference Championships Tuesday afternoon at Indian Foothills Golf Course in Marshall, Mo.

 

The Wildcats, who carried an eight stroke lead into the final round, carded a final round 315 to finish with a 54-hole total of 920 to win the title by 15 strokes over runner-up Baker University (935). The conference title is the second in the program's history with the other coming in 2000.

 

Barr, Keller and Neal were all named to the all-conference team for their performances, while Head Coach Tim Schrage took home Coach of the Year honors.
