KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State posted a final-round 2-under par 286 to finish at 4-under par 860 and place second at the 12-team Pinetree Intercollegiate that concluded Tuesday (Oct. 20) at the par-72, 7,108-yard Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw.
 
The Owls, who tied the tournament 18-hole team record with a 12-under par 276 in the second round, finished four shots behind Memphis, which captured the event with an 8-under par 856. The Tigers, who recorded scores of 286-284-286, ended Kennesaw State's three-year run as tournament champion.
 
After opening play with a 10-over par 298, the Owls came back in impressive fashion as junior Teremoana Beaucousin, sophomore Fredrik Nilehn and freshman Jake Fendt posted under par rounds during the second round. Their efforts helped KSU equal its 18-hole tournament mark set during the first round of the 2014 tournament.
 
Nilehn entered the tournament as the defending champion and finished second after recording rounds of 72-69-71 for a 4-under par total of 212, one shot behind medalist winner Lars van Meijel of Memphis, who recorded a 54-hole total of 211.
 
Nilehn was one of four Owls to place in the top 11. Beaucousin tied for fifth with an even-par 216 total that included a career-low tying 7-under par 65 in the second round. Freshmen Pablo Rodriguez-Tabernero Torres (219, +3) and Jake Fendt (220, +4) tied for ninth and 11th, respectively.
 
Junior Christopher Guglielmo (225, +9) tied for 23rd, tying freshman teammate Zach Zediker, who was one of four Kennesaw State players competing as an individual.
 
Sophomore Buster Bruton (230, +14) tied for 38th, while senior Carlos Segura Oliva (234, +18) and sophomore Paul Doig (244, +28) tied for 46th and 63rd, respectively.
 
"Obviously, we wanted to defend our title, but overall I am proud of our effort coming from behind to and competing to the end," head coach Bryant Odom said. "We just couldn't overcome some of the mistakes that impeded our momentum. We'll give an honest self-assessment and work on what we need to do to get better. Again, I'm proud of the effort and the way we represented Kennesaw State and Pinetree, and look forward to our next event."
 
Kennesaw State will close out fall schedule when it travels to Dallas, Texas, to compete in the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate hosted by Baylor Oct. 26-27.
