POCOBENE CARDS PROGRAM RECORD AS MEN’S GOLF DOWNS MITCHELL, DANIEL WEBSTER

GROTON, Conn. – The Emmanuel College Men's Golf Team topped Daniel Webster College and Mitchell College on Wednesday afternoon in a tri-match hosted by the Mitchell Mariners at Shennecossett Golf Course.  Junior captain Matteo Pocobene (Malden, Mass.) tied the Emmanuel program-record low score with his round of 74 on the day.

Pocobene's 74 tied the record of current teammate Brett Burmann (Bridgewater, Conn.), who carded a 74 back in 2012 at the University of Southern Maine Fall Classic.

The Saints posted a team score of 324 and had all five of their golfers finish in the top six of the individual standings. Pocobene earned individual medalist honors with his low round on the day, posting a three-over par 74 to lead the field of 15 golfers. Classmate Cameron Dillon (Braintree, Mass.) was four shots back of Pocobene with a 78 and finished as runner-up.  The course yielded a total of 18 birdies on the day, and Emmanuel accounted for 11 of them. Both Pocobene and Dillon each led the field with three birdies apiece.

Daniel Webster came in second place with a team round of 361. Clint Goodwin (Lebanon, N.H.) paced the Eagles with a round of 80 and finished third overall with a pair of birdies on the day.

Burmann turned in an 84 for Emmanuel to take 4th place overall, while Saints rookie Colin Cordero (Bolton, Conn.) carded an 88 to score 4th for EC and 5th overall in his first collegiate match.  Junior Kyle Davis (Groveland, Mass.) shot a 90 to finish 6th out of the field of 15 men.

Mitchell rounded out the field with a team total of 388. Michael Pinkerton (New Orleans, La.) turned in the best round for the Mariners with a 92, to tie for 7th place.

Emmanuel is back on the course tomorrow, September 19th, as the Saints travel back over to Putterham Meadows in Brookline for a tri-match with Newbury College and Johnson State College.  Tee time is set for 1:00 PM.
