Virginia State University 2008 CIAA Golf Champions

2008 CIAA Golf Tournament Medalist Jerel Whiting - Virginia State

2008 All-CIAA Golf Team

Fort Lee, VA - Friday was a triumphant day indeed for the Virginia State University Golf Team, as they delivered a huge eye-opener at the CIAA Golf Championships at The Cardinal Golf Club in Fort Lee, VA. For the first time in school history, the Trojans reign as the CIAA Golf Tournament Champions knocking off defending champion Fayetteville State.
 
Although VSU led the tournament in Round One with a team score of 295, they knew they would need another strong performance to defeat FSU.  The Broncos continued to be competitive while trailing by only one stroke with a team score of 296 at the end of the first round.
 
On day two, FSU played extremely well with a team score of 282 and an overall score of 578 (+2). However, this wasn't enough to overcome the Trojans, who had a round two team score of 281 for an overall score of 576 (even par), which was 2 stokes better than the Broncos.
 
Stellar performances by sophomore Jerel Whiting (VSU) and teammate Kalani Britos contributed to the Trojans' success. Both were tied with Joel "Chip" Lynn (FSU) with individual two-day scores of 141 (-3); but on the second hole of sudden death competition, Whiting broke the tie, and was named the Individual Medalist for the tournament.
 
Kevin Lyles (FSU) finished 4th overall individually with a two-day even par score of 144. Greg Hunt (VSU) and Enobong Udo (JCSU) tied for 5th, both with total individual scores of 145 (+1).

VSU wins the automatic bid to the NCAA Super Regionals, to be held May 5-7, 2008 at the Point Lake Golf Club in Belmont, N.C.
