INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis won four of its five medal/match play contests while tying the other en route to the 2018 Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) men’s golf title on Tuesday at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana. The Greyhounds secured their league-best 16
th overall men’s golf crown and first since 2014 with a 4.5-0.5 victory over Maryville University, which advanced to medal/match play for the first time in school history.

Mast scored the opening point following a 74-81 victory over Maryville’s Conrad Maloney in the first match. Carroll then topped Alex Locke, 71-78, while Spencer Klimek and the Saints’ Keenan Fleming split a point after each carding a round of 74. Erik Edwards tapped in on the 18

Earlier in the day in semifinal action, the Greyhounds survived a scare with a 3-2 victory over the University of Missouri-St. Louis, while the Saints posted a 4-1 decision over defending GLVC Champion Bellarmine University.
