Results LEWISBURG, Pa. –

Colgate Golf capped off its fall season with a first-place finish at the Bucknell Invitational on Tuesday, securing first place by a five-shot margin over Long Island. 

The Raiders were either leading or tied for the lead after each round of the three-day, 54-hole tournament at Bucknell Country Club. Colgate's 1-under 839 as a team edged second-place Long Island's aggregate score of 4-over 844 for the title. Colgate's 839 total marks its lowest 54-hole score in program history, besting last year's 846 at the Doc Gimmler Invite.

"This was such a great way to end the fall," said head coach JP Kircher. "We played so consistently throughout the tournament. It's not easy to have the lead each round and to close out a tournament. Everyone stepped up and contributed, playing some very disciplined golf.  Bucknell hosted a great event, on a really fun golf course. Coach Mike Binney at Bucknell goes above and beyond to make the event special." 

This is Colgate's first win in a tournament of more than three teams since October 2019, when the Raiders paced 12 teams at the Bucknell Invitational on the same course. Colgate captured first place at last year's Upstate Battle, edging the Bison and St. Bonaventure at Seven Oaks. 

Kevin Hollomon once again led the way, turning in his second consecutive 2-under 68 in the final round to finish in second place with a 4-under 206. Dugan McCabe tied for sixth at 1-over 211, while Robbie Herzig tied for 15th with a 4-over-214 three-day total. 

Justin Fedele was Colgate's biggest mover on the final day, firing a 3-under 67 to finish with a 5-over 215 in a tie for 17th place. Leo Li rounded out Colgate's scoring group at 13-over 223.
