Springboro, OH – The No. 1 nationally ranked Indian Hills Men's Golf squad captured its third consecutive top-three team finish as the Warriors placed second overall at the Wright State Invitational at Heatherwoode Golf Club.
Indian Hills was one of just two teams, along with host Wright State University, to finish below par in the 13-team field as the Warriors fired an 8-under, 844. Indian Hills has now placed inside the top-three in the team standings in seven of the team's nine events this year.
Sophomore Roman Roth (Wayland, IA/Washington) continued an impressive stretch of play while leading the Warriors atop the team leaderboard.
