Joe Ensign Wins Charger Challenge, Men's Golf Places Fourth in Invite

SUFFERN, N.Y. – For the second time this year, senior Joe Ensign found himself atop the leaderboard for Post University Men's Golf, taking the individual title at the Charger Challenge this week at the Spook Rock Golf Course. Ensign also won the Post Eagles Invitational back in October, while this week, Post as a team finished fourth overall at 38-over-par. 

THE BASICS 
 
Team Results – 4th Out of 6 Teams (+8, 296)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED 
Ensign finished the event at even with par after starting the first day with a four-under-par and a second round finish of four-over-par, narrowly holding off a surging Ian Dunham from Franklin Pierce University, who was playing as an independent. Dunham finished one stroke away from tying Ensign at one-over-par after a two-under-par second round, while Alexander Lundvall from Dominican (N.Y.) rounded out the top three at two-over-par.

The second day of competition for all six teams saw them all produce worse scores than day one, with Adelphi University ultimately being crowned the champions at 14-over-par. There was no shifting in position throughout the team standings either as Felician University took second at 27-over-par, followed by Dominican (N.Y.) in third at 37-over-par.

Narrowly missing out on leaping into third place was the Eagles at 38-over-par after going for 30-over-par in round two, one stroke back of the Chargers. In the bottom two spots were both Franklin Pierce University at 44-over-par and Chestnut Hill College, which finished at 51-over-par. 

Sophomore Flo Schimek finished with an identical four-over-par second round, completing the invite at eight-over-par, which was good enough to tie for 12th place, while sophomore Braden Shea and junior Miles Maresch each posted 11-over-par to both finish at 15-over-par in a tie for 23rd place. 
Junior Nathan Leonard and freshman Brandon Frye each finished back-to-back in 36th and 37th place with Leonard rounding out the five golfers on the team score for Post at 23-over-par while Frye, as an independent, was 35-over-par overall..
