HERSHEY, PA - It was a record-breaking day for the Penn State-Harrisburg golf team, as they posted a second-place finish today, out of 11 teams, at the Elizabethtown College Blue Jay Spring Classic.

The Lions fired a 301 over the East course at Hershey Country Club, falling to Messiah College by just one shot.  The 301 is a school record for Penn State-Harrisburg.  The previous mark of 309 was set two years ago in a home event at Dauphin Highlands Golf Course. 

In addition, Max Hrip (So-Cumberland Valley) and Bobby Proietto (Fr-Lower Dauphin) both fired a 1-over 72 today.  That number eclipses the previous school individual standard, 74, set by Shane Woodman last spring in a home tri-match.  Other Penn State-Harrisburg scores today included Geoff Morrison (Jr-Bishop McDevitt) firing a 76, Woodman (Jr-Donegal) posting an 81, and Brad Goss (Jr-Palymra) finishing with an 85.

Hrip and Proietto posted two of the four 72's on the day, with a match of scorecards declaring Hrip the individual runner-up in the 60-player field

Penn State-Harrisburg gets back into action Sunday at Dauphin Highlands, as they host the two-day Penn State-Harrisburg Spring Classic.  The tournament gets underway at noon.
