Rising Sun, Md. – Redshirt junior Matt Spak shot a third-place 144 to pace Millersville's first-place finish and 593 team score at the Revolutionary Golf Classic at Chesapeake Bay Golf Club on Sunday.

The Marauders won the invitational by a single stroke over Franklin & Marshall's 594. Julian Gonzalez of Goucher College won the individual medalist honor in a tiebreaker situation, shooting a 2-under 142.

TOURNAMENT HIGHLIGHTS
• Spak fired a 2-over 74 in the opening round and followed with a 2-under 70. His opening round included four birdies and six bogeys. On Sunday, Spak recorded another four birdies and only two bogeys.
• Redshirt senior Corey Betham finished tied for fifth overall, shooting a 3-over 147. Betham posted a 2-over 74 on the opening day of competition and then improved by one stroke with a 1-over 73.
• Senior Matt Keim finished in seventh place with a 4-over 148 two-day total. Keim fired a 1-over 73 and then wrapped up the tournament with a 3-over 75. Keim birdied the par-5 ninth in both rounds.
• Rounding out the counting scores for the Marauders was sophomore Ronnie Yanoski. Yanoski posted rounds of 76 and 78 for a tied for 11th performance. Yanoski had 12 total pars on the first round.
• Junior Brady Erb shot 82-78 to finish in 19th place.

HEAD COACH SCOTT VANDEGRIFT QUOTES
• "We continue to show improvement. The scores are good but they have to get even better. The player that has been really playing well is Matt Spak. He has played back-to-back tournaments very well. Another golfer who has shown a lot of improvement is Corey Betham."
• "We are happy we won and it was nice to be on the right side winning by one but there is no one here sitting with me tonight that does not realize that this will be in the middle of the pack at the conference championship."
• "In that final round, anytime you count a score over 75 in your team score, you are hurting yourself. We had to count a 78 in the final round. We need four scores under 75, every time, and need one guy to go low."

NOTES
• Betham set new low scores for 18 and 36 holes.
• Spak tied his lowest 18-hole score in his career in the final round (70). He also recorded a new career-best 36-hole score.
• Spak posted eight birdies in the two rounds.
• Devic recorded his best finish this season.
