Powells Point, N.C. – Two Falcon golfers in Pablo Heredia Iglesias and Cameron Michalak each recorded top-10 individual finishes to lead the Bowling Green State University men's golf team to a second-place team finish with a 54-hole score of 854, +2, over three days of play at the ODU/OBX Intercollegiate hosted by Old Dominion at the Kilmarlic Golf Club in Powells Point, N.C.

Bowling Green finished as the team runner-up with rounds of 281, 284 and 289 overall for a 54-hole team score of 854, +2. The Falcons finished 13 strokes behind the champions in Campbell University who finished with a team score of 841, -11 under par.

BGSU's 54-hole team score of 854, +2, is tied for the fifth best 54-hole tournament team score in BGSU men's golf history. The Falcons last shot an 854 team score at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational back in 2005-06.

The Falcons finished ahead of 16 other schools in the 18-team tournament field, including host Old Dominion and Akron of the MAC.

"We got off to a good start again despite tough playing conditions and we played well as a team," head coach Kevin Farrell stated. "We made some mental mistakes that hindered us, but we were good enough today and had some guys make some key putts to make up for those miscues and still earn a second-place team finish."

Iglesias registered his second top-five finish of the fall season, as he placed fourth overall with a 54-hole score of 210, -3 under par. The freshman carded rounds of 66, 72 and 72 to post his BGSU career-best 54-hole score of 210, -3 under par. Carding an eagle on the second round of play, he was second on the team with 11 birdies and led the Falcons with a par-3 scoring average of 2.93, -1 under par, over his three rounds of play. The Spaniard also finished in a tie for third for the entire tournament field with a par-4 scoring average of 3.96, -1 under par.

Turning in a career-low 54-hole score to finish in a tie for eighth-place overall was Michalak with a score of 213, even par. The eighth-place finish is the best finish for the second-year Falcon in his intercollegiate career. Michalak tallied scores of 71, 68 and 74 over his three rounds of play, which included a team-high 12 birdies overall. He posted a par-3 scoring average of 3.00, even par, and a par-4 scoring average of 4.00, ever par, over the three days of play.

Placing in a tie for 11th-place overall was Brett Rinker with a 54-hole score of 214, +1. The junior turned in rounds of 70, 72 and 72, and led the Falcons with 34 pars for the entire tournament. Rinker also posted a team-best par-5 scoring average of 4.58, -5 under par, for the three-round event and finished with 10 birdies overall. The 11th-place finish was his fourth straight top-20 finish this fall season.

Shooting his best round of the tournament on the final day of play Tuesday was Jose Narro who climbed up the leaderboard and into a tie for 30th with a final round 71, even par. The junior finished with rounds of 74, 75 and 71 for a 54-hole score of 220, +7. He was one of three Falcons to post an eagle over his 54-holes of play.

Rounding out the lineup for the Falcons was freshman Trey Walker with a 54-hole score of 225, +12, to place him in a tie for 49th overall. Walker, who shot rounds of 77, 72 and 76, had an eagle over the first round of play and finished with a par-5 scoring average of 4.75, -3 under par, overall. His 225, +12, is the lowest 54-hole score in his young BGSU career.

The Falcons will conclude their 2015 fall season at the Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic on Nov. 6-8 at the Ka'anapali Golf Resort in Lahaina, Maui, Hawai'i.
