    MEN'S GOLF

    ADRIAN -- Calvin used another strong effort to move into second place in the
    overall MIAA season standings at a league tournament hosted by Adrian at the
    Lenawee Country Club Saturday afternoon.

    Calvin posted a second place team score of 313, four strokes behind first place
    Hope but 13 strokes better than third place Olivet. The second place
    performance allowed the Knights to move nine strokes ahead of Olivet and into
    second place in the MIAA team standings.

    Under the direction of first-year head coach Jim Timmer Jr. the Calvin men's
    golf team has now posted four second place team finishes at MIAA outings this
    year.

    Ricky Shilts (Kalamazoo Central HS) found the Lenawee Country Club links to his
    liking as the Calvin junior fired a round of 73 to capture medalist honors
    Saturday afternoon. Shilts is the first Calvin medalist since Adam Derrickson
    and Bryan Hoekstra shared medalist honors for Calvin at a league tournament
    hosted by the Knights in 2001.

    Shilts was followed by teammate Phil Rietema (Grand Rapids Baptist HS) who had
    a sterling round of 76. Rounding out Calvin's finshers were seniors Ryan
    Brandsma (Hinsdale, IL) and Matt Kelly (Western Michigan Christian HS) with
    rounds of 82 while freshman Jeff TenBrink (Kalamazoo Christian HS) had a round
    of 86.

    The MIAA season is set to conclude on Monday when Calvin hosts the final league
    outing of the year. The outing will be held at the Watermark Country Club in
    Grand Rapids with opening tee times set for 1:00 p.m.

    Calvin will be bidding for its best MIAA season finish since 2000 when the
    Knights finished second in the final league standings.
