Ashland, Va. - North Carolina Wesleyan's golf team wrapped up the fall portion of its schedule on Sunday and Monday, tallying an impressive 3rd-place finish at the Ted Keller Memorial Tournament hosted by Randolph-Macon College. The Bishops were led by junior Chris Freeman, who carded a tourney-low 68 in the final round to cap a solid 295 team score on the day.

The Bishops shot a 314 on day one en route to a tie for 7th-place entering Monday's final round. Behind Freeman's stellar 68, Wesleyan was able to climb four spots in the standings to finish ahead of USA South foe Ferrum College and just one stroke behind perennial powerhouse Greensboro.

Joining Freeman in the final round push was freshman Matthew May with a 74 (+4), senior Allen-Michael Wilson with a 75 (+5) and sophomore Lucas Norman with a 78 (+8). Wilson's day one 77 was a team-best in the opening round and gave him a total of 152 for the tourney, which tied for 12th-place. May finished one stroke behind at 153, while Norman finished at 156.

Rounding out the field for the Bishops was junior Stephen Bardswick with rounds of 82 and 83. The two-day event was held at the par-70 Hanover Country Club and featured 74 golfers among 14 teams.

With a pair of sub-300 rounds, Hampden-Sydney College took the team title, with the Tigers' Rick O'Connell earning medalist honors at 3-under (69-68). Greensboro finished second, followed by NCWC and Stevenson in third.

Wesleyan will now prepare for a 2014 spring schedule that currently features four tournaments, beginning on March 1st at Mars Hill's Weekend in Wilmington.
