GUILDERLAND, N.Y. – Led by sophomore Jimmy Brunone (Plymouth, Mass./Tabor Academy), the Bentley University golf team finished fourth among 12 teams in the rain-shortened Saint Rose Fall Shootout at the Pinehaven Country Club Saturday. The tournament was reduced to 18 holes after Friday's round was rained out.

Bentley turned in a team score of 311 to finish behind Roberts Wesleyan (298), Southern New Hampshire (300) and Le Moyne College (306).

Brunone posted a 74 to tie for sixth place in the 66-player tournament. The other Falcons in the top 20 were seniors Tom Ayres (Bolton, Mass./Nashoba Reg. HS) and Matt Frietag (Cheshire, Mass./ Hoosac Valley HS). Ayres tied for 14th with a 77 and Frietag tied for 19th following a 78.

Jake Nutter of Southern New Hampshire fired a three-under 68 to capture medalist honors by three strokes over both Nicholas Carter (Saint Anselm),  Joe Petrin (Le Moyne) and Thomas Kolb (Roberts Wesleyan).
