OSWEGO, N.Y. — A stellar day on the course in Round Two of the Oswego State Fall Invitational helped the New Jersey City University men's golf team to a 26-stroke swing and a 10th-place finish on Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Oswego Country Club. Four players improved on their first round scores, but freshman Tim Bock (Glen Gardner, N.J./Voorhees) paved the way with a second-round 78 to lead Jersey City.

The 36-hole team title was claimed by Hamilton College, who led wire-to-wire and finished with a total score of 578 (293-295).

Individually, Ryan Fecco of hosting-SUNY Oswego and Ramon Aroca Gonzalez of Hamilton tied for first with two-round scored of 143.

Junior Taj Piontkowski (Califon, N.J./Voorhees) also had an impressive second round and moved up five spots in the final standings. He finished with a 36-hole tournament with a score of 175 (92-83).
