Bowling Green, Ohio – For the fourth straight tournament this fall season, the Bowling Green State University men's golf team will be teeing-off in a different state, as the Falcons this time will play in the state of North Carolina at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate held at the Lonnie Poole Golf Course at N.C. State University in Raleigh, N.C. on Oct. 6-7.

The 5th annual Wolfpack Intercollegiate will be held at the par 71, 7,307-yards Lonnie Poole Golf Course on the campus of N.C. State University and will consist of 54 holes over two days of play. On Monday, Oct. 6, the teams will play 36 holes, while the final 18 holes are slated for Tuesday, Oct. 7.

This year's tournament field includes a total of 18 teams and a handful of individuals. The 18-team field includes Bowling Green, Rhode Island, East Carolina, Boston College, Seton Hall, Campbell, Loyola (Md.), Wofford, Georgia Southern, Temple, UNC-Greensboro, East Tennessee State, George Washington, Lipscomb, Western Carolina, USC-Upstate and two teams from N.C. State.

BGSU head coach Kevin Farrell will send out a lineup that features Jose Narro, Brett Rinker, Joe Cooper, Cameron Michalak and Ryan Triller.

Narro, who has been the top BGSU golfer in all three events so far this season for the Falcons, will enter the tournament with a team-low scoring average of 73.11 on the fall season. The sophomore has posted three top-25 finishes thus far this season, including his first-place win to open up the year at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational back in early September. Narro has already turned in three sub-par rounds of golf over nine rounds of play this fall, including a career-low round of 66 at the Marshall Invitational.

Like Narro, Rinker has played for the Falcons in all three events thus far this year and has totaled a stroke average of 75.56 over nine rounds of play. The reigning MAC Freshman of the Year is coming off rounds of 75, 79 and 76 for a combined 54-hole score of 230, +14, at the Badger Invitational last week. The sophomore has carded low rounds of 71 and 72 so far this season.

Cooper returns to the lineup after missing the Badger Invitational, as over his first two tournaments this fall he has turned in combined 54-hole scores of 225, +12, at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational and 244, +28, at the Rees Jones Intercollegiate. The senior carded a low round 71 over the second round of play at the Marshall Invitational and currently enters play this week with a season stroke average of 78.17 on the year.

Also returning to the lineup this week is Michalak, as the freshman competed in both the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational and the Rees Jones Intercollegiate early this fall season. Playing in only the third intercollegiate event of his young career, Michalak enters the Wolfpack Intercollegiate with a season stroke average of 76.50. He, like Cooper and Rinker, has carded a low round 71 on the year thus far this fall season.

Coming off a 28th-place finish at the Badger Invitational last week, Triller will round out the lineup for the Falcons this week at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate. The senior, who carded a BGSU low round 73 over the first round and a team-low round 74 for the third round of play at the Badger Invitational, is coming off a strong performance at the Wisconsin event with a 54-hole score of 225, +9. Triller ranks second on the team thus far this fall season with a stroke average of 75.17.

The tournament will tee-off with an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start on Monday morning.
