Play was halted midway through the second round due to inclement weather on Monday, leaving 27 holes to play on Tuesday for the men's field.




University of the Cumberlands (KY) took the team title with 876 total team strokes, while the Blue Raiders finished just behind with 878 strokes. Host Georgetown (KY) College (912) and Campbellsville (KY) University (924) finished third and fourth, respectively.

St. Catharine (KY) ) College (954), Pikeville (KY) College (1,015) and West Virginia University Tech (1,082) round out the seven-team field.

Joe Hood paced Lindsey Wilson, carding a 217 (74-73-70) to finish fourth overall, while Nicolas Navarro (74-73-72) and Daron Morris (72-78-69) tied for second on the team and fifth place overall with scores of 219 strokes each.

Antonio Arriola finished in ninth place overall, carding a 223 (77-74-72) and Trey Wilkerson rounded out the Blue Raider finishers in 15th place with a 228 (78-78-72).

Playing as individuals, Lindsey Wilson's Chaz Giles tied for 21st place with a 236 (83-76-77), while Derek Murphy tied for 26th place with a 241 (80-85-76).

Georgetown's Christian Heavens - who was named the MSC Player of the Year at the annual awards banquet on Tuesday - won the individual title with a score of 210 (71-69-70).

Morris and Arriola shared the MSC Freshman of the Year honor, while Hood, Morris and Arriola were all named to the all-conference team. Navarro was an honorable mention all-conference selection.

Players earned the conference honors by taking the five best scores of the seven conference rounds played during the season.

With the runner-up finish at the conference championship, Lindsey Wilson must wait for the final NAIA national rankings to see if it is selected for an at-large bid to the NAIA National Championship on May 18-21, 2010, at the TPC at Deere Run in Silvis, IL.
