DeKalb — The men’s golf team set a new spring season-high finish at the Boilermaker Invitational, tying for sixth place overall and shooting nine-over-par.

Unplayable weather Sunday at the Kampen Golf Course in West Lafayette, Indiana, led to the final round of the tournament being cancelled, leaving the Huskies just six shots away from the top spot. Head Coach Tom Porten said the finish should set a standard for the team in its final weeks of the season.

“It’s a benchmarker [and] a turning point for us,” Porten said. “To be able to come in there with not a lot of momentum and played the kind of golf you’ve been trying to play all spring, it was great to see.
