SEASIDE, Calif. – The CSUSB men's golf team placed sixth in the Otter Invitational on Tuesday, finishing +24. Only one of the 18 teams in the tournament shot below par, that being Barry University with a score of -8 while also finishing in first place.
 
The Yotes placed fourth out of fellow CCAA schools, with host school Cal State Monterey Bay finishing the highest in the conference at second overall - shooting three-over par.
 

"We had a tough week up in Monterey on a VERY difficult golf course. Our guys did not have their best performance, but we are learning more every day about where we need to improve. The Fall season gives us the opportunity to evaluate our games under pressure and better prepare for the spring season. We will continue working and getting better every day." - Head Coach Kyle Emerson
