Northeast Conference Golf Release (10/28)

FDU's Lisa Warrilow and MU's Greg Etimos   Monmouth junior Greg Etimos turned in a top fall season-ending performance this past week to secure an individual first-place finish en route to a team fifth-place tie finish with FDU. He carded a 75, his first and only of this season. It was also his first career top finish. Lisa Warrilow also finished the fall season with a bang as she won the FDU Invitational on the women's side to lead the Knights to a team first-place finish. She carded a 77, in what ended up being a one-day event, to top the 39 other golfers in the field. This week marks the end of fall competition for all seven schools as they will resume their 2009-10 season in the spring.
