MCC golf captures NCAA event, win two weeks in a row

(MERIDIAN) - The Meridian Community College golf team put together yet another impressive performance Tuesday as the MCC "B team" won the Mississippi College Fall Invitational by two shots over host-Mississippi College.

MCC shot 291, the Choctaws shot 293, while Jackson State University had a 310 to place third. East Mississippi shot 313 and placed fourth. Louisiana College shot 320 to round out the top five teams.

Mississippi College JV had 329, Belhaven had 373.

"Two wins in a row is impressive but to have your B team win an NCAA hosted event is something else," said MCC head coach Sean Covich.

Three MCC freshman were named to the All Tournament team.

JT Soley of Laurel led the way, he shot 1-under par 71 to place third and was named to his first career All Tournament team.

Bo Reed of Tupelo placed fourth after shooting Even par 72 and was also named to his first career All Tournament team.

Oscar Mariscal used a dramatic eagle chip in on the final hole to propel MCC to victory and shot 1-over par 73 and was named to the All Tournament team.

Tanner Sparks of Belmont shot a 3-over 75 while freshman Adam Monsen shot a 6-over 78.
The win is the second consecutive for MCC and now the Eagles turn their attention to the NJCAA National Preview next week held at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail-Hampton Cove in Huntsville, AL.
