PARTICIPATING TEAMS

TEEING OFF

The Davis & Elkins men's golf team will make its debut in the 2019 Mountain East Conference Golf Championships on Monday and aims to continue what has been a strong fall season so far.
The Senators have earned top five finishes as a team in each of their three events this fall, including a team championship at the 2019 Wally Edgell Collegiate Championship on September 23-24.
Davis & Elkins is coming off a third-place team finish at the Snowshoe Invitational last time out. Davis & Elkins fired a 291 in the second round, accounting for the lowest round of any team in the field.
The top six teams (and three individuals not on a qualifying team) after 36 holes will advance to the final round. Teams not making the cut will compete in the Woodhaven Shootout at Glade Springs.
For the first time in league history, the Mountain East Conference will stream portions of the men's and women's golf championship on its digital network.

Lowest Round: 70
Top Finish: T-6th at Walley Edgell Championship (73-70=143)
Season Recap: Addie has competed in the last two tournaments for the Senators, posting top-10 finishes in each event. He carded a 70 in the final day of the Wally Edgell Collegiate Championship to help the Senators win their own invitational. Three of his four rounds have been a 73 or lower, and he looks to be a key contributor on a men's team with plenty of depth.

Season Recap: Harlen-Robertson was in the Senators lineup for each of the first two tournaments of the fall slate.
