Spring Season

 

The Chargers finished the spring season strong, despite a significantly smaller roster than they had in the fall.  The team just missed qualifying for the NCAA East/Atlantic Regional Tournament, however Lee was the top individual out of four qualifiers from the East Region to compete at the Regional Tournament in West Virginia.   

 

For the three-day tournament, Lee shot a combined score of 234 (+18) to place him in a tie for 23rd place with Patrick Schwarze of St. Thomas Aquinas College. 

 

DC had three top five finishes in the spring season.

 

With the graduation of Lee, Head Coach Wayne Mackey will look to bring in a strong rookie class to compliment the returning players and make a strong run at the CACC Championship next season.
