Lehigh captures League Championship
Team captures second crown in a row
by Jason Jenkins
The second time around was just
as nice for Lehigh, who captured
their second league title in as many
years, Sunday, at the Patriot
League Championships at Army in
West Point, New York.
"This shows that we were not
lucky last year," Kelly Gutshall,
head coach of Lehigh said. "It came
down to the last putt so you know it
was a dogfight."
The Mountain Hawks used a
strong team effort powered by
sophomore Jack Kodesh,   junior
John Horutz and senior Phil
Auerbach.
Kodesh finished tied for second
with a score of 219.
"We always knew Jack had a
great golf game, " Gutshall said.

"In my eight years at Lehigh this is the
best team I ever coached."
Coach Kelly Gutshall on second league
title
Horutz and Auerbach finished tied for
eighth place with a score of 225.
All three received All-League recognition.
Lehigh and Navy were tied at the end
of the competition.
Lehigh was declared the winner via
the "fifth-man" rule which compares
scores of the number five golfers in
the final round.
Mountain Hawk Kyle Smith's
score of 77 defeated Mark Minukas's
score of 82 to seal the victory.
With the victory, Gutshall hopes
to maintain the winning tradition
for years to come.
"This gives Lehigh a great
opportunity, because great players
want to play for winning programs."
