McQueen, Michel Lead Bentley during New England Championships

BREWSTER, Mass. – Senior co-captains Dan McQueen (Topsfield/Masconomet Reg. HS) and Matt Michel (Danvers/Danvers HS) were the top performers for the Bentley University Falcons Sunday during the storm-shortened New England Intercollegiate Golf Association Championships at the Captains Course. Monday's scheduled second round was cancelled due to the approaching storm.

Bentley, the defending champion, was 11th of 35 teams with a score of 321, although no overall champion was crowned because two different courses were used. Amongst Division II programs, the Falcons were third among eight teams, trailing both UMass-Lowell and Saint Anselm College, who both finished with a 311.

McQueen earned Division II All-New England honors after tying for sixth overall and fourth among Division II players with a four-over 76. Five different players, including UMass-Lowell's Sylvaine Debiais and Harry Hulme, finished at the top of the leaderboard with a 75.

Michel, the winner of the NEIGA Guy Tedesco Award for his all-around success, followed with a 77, putting him in a tie for 12th in the 171-player field.

The tournament marked the end of the fall schedule for the Falcons.
