Westmoreland campus clippings: Saint Vincent golfers win host tournament

Saint Vincent may have been a gracious host, but that didn’t stop the Bearcats from winning their own golf tournament.

The SVC men claimed the title as four individuals finished inside the top five and the team finished with 323 strokes to top Grove City by 16.

Junior Brevin Urso was the medalist for SVC, carding a 4-over-par 76 to top a 34-player field at Latrobe Country Club.

Junior Colten McCutcheon (Latrobe) tied for third with an 81, while freshmen Colt Easterling and Brendan Cooley tied for fifth at 83.
