MSOE'S MAUPIN BREAKS SCHOOL RECORDS
HARTFORD, Wis. -- MSOE golfer Scott Maupin (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha West) had the round of his life, shooting a 65 on his way to winning the Wisconsin Lutheran Invitational, held at the Washington County Golf Course. Maupin turned in a combined score of 134, 10 under par, breaking both the school record of low score in a single round and low score for a two-round total.

MSOE Head Coach Joe Meloy was nearly speechless after Maupin’s performance on Monday. “Tremendous,” Meloy said of Maupin’s performance. “I think the score speaks for itself.”

MSOE won the 11-team event, scoring a two-day total 572, breaking another school record. Carthage College finished second (609), followed by Edgewood College (622) in third.

Raider sophomore Eric Macias (Mexico City, Mexico/ITESM) finished in second place with a 2-under par 142 with freshman Paul Rothering (New Berlin, Wis./New Berlin West) shooting a 36 hole total 146, good enough for third overall.

An enthusiastic Meloy said, “Although this is the first week of the season, I think this is a great way to get started.”
