Bear Trap Dunes was once again excited to host the annual George Washington Inter-Collegiate Invitational. For the 9th year in a row, Bear Trap was thrilled to welcome NCAA college teams from the region: Binghamton, Boston College, Delaware, George Washington, Hofstra, Holy Cross, LaSalle, Niagara, Rider, St. Francis of PA and University of Pennsylvania.
Good weather and fine course conditions were presented to this 11-team field of 70 players. Individual and team honors were up for grabs during the 54-hole medal play. The University of Pennsylvania captured the team honors with a combined score of +2 (two over par) for the five teammates through 54 holes.
UPenn included the individual medalist as well – Max Marsico fired rounds of 72-70-70 to win by four strokes. Plenty of under-par rounds were recorded during the event, including a 5-under par 67 from Binghamton’s David Cellura and a 4-under par 68 from LaSalle’s Michael Johnson. Yet it was Max Marsico’s and UPenn’s consistent play that earned them the titles.
The March conditions were pleasant and it was wonderful to see the Bear Trap Dunes members, players’ parents and other spectators on our grounds. This event proved a great kick-off to our Spring season, and Bear Trap Dunes is honored to host this prestigious local NCAA tournament every March.
