MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — As Middle Tennessee begins its journey for a second straight Conference USA title defense, its roster is filled with underclassmen. That makes the leadership coming from lone senior Tanner Owens a key to this season.
Of the 11 golfers on the Blue Raiders' roster, eight are either freshmen or sophomores, leaving only Owens and juniors Ilari Saulo and Cooper Sears as upperclassmen.
Despite its youth, MT has its eyes set on a third straight C-USA title in the spring. If it reaches that goal, Owens will likely lead the way, both on the scorecard and by example.
