Moody, Zwick Make All-Conference, Garnet Tie for Second
CENTENNIAL CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
PEACH BOTTOM, Pa. -- Garnet seniors Zach Moody and Eric Zwick earned All-Centennial selections and the Swarthmore golf team posted its best finish ever at the Centennial Conference Championships, tying for second place at the conclusion of the three-day event at Pilgrim's Oak Golf Club.
Franklin & Marshall won the overall team championship with a three-day total of 924, followed by Swarthmore and McDaniel at 933. Muhlenberg was fourth (944), followed by Gettyburg (970), Ursinus (978), and Dickinson (979).
The Garnet posted a team score of 306, the best showing of the season and the low team-round on the final day of CC competition by six strokes (McDaniel had a 312). It is the best team round by Swarthmore since they put up a 305 at Edgmont Country Club on April 24, 2006.
Zwick maintained his steady demeanor on the course, posting three consecutive rounds in the 70s (74-78-78 = 230) to become the first Garnet golfer to make All-Centennial two straight years. Moody saved his best for last, shooting a two-over 74 on the final day, tying individual champion Zach Lavoie from McDaniel for the best final round. The 74 is the second-lowest of his career—the senior shot a 73 at Bent Creek on Sept. 13, 2004. Moody's overall score of 230 (81-75-74) was only three back of Lavoie (77-76-74 = 227) on a tightly packed leader board.
Sophomore David Lau made the top-ten after carding a final-round 79 to tie for 10th with an overall score of 235. Freshman Jeff Lazarus carded a four-over 76 on Sunday, the best round of his young college career, to finish tied for 14th (81-81-76 = 238). Sophomore Michael Bernasek rounded out the Swarthmore contingent with a gutsy 79 on Sunday to finish in a tie for 31st (82-91-79 = 252)
