Iona Men's Golf Claims Metropolis Intercollegiate Title by Eight Strokes

WHITE PLAINS, NY – The Iona University men's golf team captured the team title at the Metropolis Intercollegiate, hosted by Columbia University at Metropolis Country Club, finishing atop the leaderboard by eight strokes with a team score of 27-over par across 54 holes. All five Gaels finished inside the top 20 individually to lead the Maroon & Gold to an impressive team victory.

Slevcove Leads the Way
Junior Ryan Slevcove paced the Gaels with a runner-up finish, placing second individually at three-over par, just one stroke shy of the individual title. Slevcove opened the tournament with a two-over-par round before delivering a bogey-free, two-under-par performance in the second round. He closed out the event with a three-over-par 18 holes to secure sole possession of second place.

Sophomore Jennings Oelke continued his strong start to his Iona career, tying for sixth place at eight-over par. Oelke opened the tournament with consecutive rounds of 72 before carding a final-round 74 to finish among the top 10.

Lucas Vanderlip, Sean Richards, and Paddy Blinderman rounded out the Iona lineup, tying for 20th place individually. Each golfer finished the 54-hole event at 12-over par, helping the Gaels place all five competitors inside the top 20.

What's Next
The Gaels return to action on October 26-27 when they host the Wykagyl Collegiate at Wykagyl Country Club.
