Matt Elliott finished fifth overall to lead Wooster.

While it was shooting for a possible top-three finish, The College of Wooster's golf team had to settle for its second-straight fifth-place showing at the NCAC Tournament that took place Friday and Saturday at Apple Valley Golf Course in Howard, Ohio.

Wooster finished the two-round event with 656 strokes, which was 32 more than first-place Ohio Wesleyan (624). Allegheny placed a close second (628), followed by Denison (638) in third and Wittenberg in fourth (646).

The Scots stood in fifth place after the first round (329), but were only four shots behind Denison and two behind Wittenberg. Wooster improved its score on day two (327), but not as much as Denison and Wittenberg, who improved 13 and eight strokes, respectively.

Leading the way for Wooster was junior Matt Elliott, who carded a 79 and 78 to finish fifth overall. The next highest finisher for the Scots was junior Jon Pintado, who placed in a tie for 9^th (161).

Wooster's other two individual scorers were freshmen Joe Punturi and Tyler Scott, who both finished tied for 29^th after shooting 169 for the two rounds.
