PALMERTON, Pa.--The Hood College men's golf team enjoyed one of the program's finest tournaments Tuesday as the Blazers took second out of 11 teams at the Falcon Classic hosted by Messiah College at the Blue Ridge Country Club.

After tying host Messiah for first place with a combined score of 309, the tiebreaker decision reviewed the round carded by each team's No. 5 scorer. Messiah edged out Hood by one stroke, 88-89, to claim the title.

In the final fall match of the season, Hood set a school record with its combined score and finished in front of the foursomes from Capital Athletic Conference rivals York College (Pa.) (333) and Marymount University (340).

Senior Evan Chaney and first-year Jake Cole both shot 76s, good enough to set personal bests and tie Hood's individual school record. Senior Andy Alger shot two behind his teammates with a 78 while first-year Jon Heile carded a 79. Junior Tyler Fairley rounded out the Blazers with a 89.

Medalist honors went to Messiah's Matt Burkhart who shot a two-under par 70.

Hood has completed its fall slate and will resume play in the spring.
