LEBANON, Pa. – Penn State Harrisburg men's golf returned to action at the LVC Spring Invitational hosted by Lebanon Valley at Lebanon Country Club on Monday afternoon, March 29.

The Lions impressed in their season opener, securing a third-place finish as a team out of nine competing squads behind a cumulative score of 328 (+40).
