Final Results

STOCKTON, Calif. -- The No. 27 ranked Cal State East Bay men's golf team posted a record-setting team total of 275 (-13) in the final round of the NCAA Division II West Regional Preview on Tuesday to vault up six places on the leaderboard and finish in a tie for fourth place out of 22 teams.

East Bay's total of 275 is the lowest single round score by a Pioneer squad since the program joined Division II and the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) in 2009. All four of the team's scoring golfers shot even par or better on Tuesday.

The Pioneers finished with a 36-hole total of 567 (-9), putting them in a tie for fourth place with No. 47 Western Washington. It was an extremely tight race during Tuesday's action, but California Baptist (-12) ended up snagging the team title by one stroke. BYU Hawaii (-11) placed second, followed by No. 40 Chico State (-10) in third.

Sophomore Jonathan Mulvany turned in the best performance of his young career to lead CSUEB in round two. At one point he birdied five out of seven holes, and he finished with a team-high seven birdies for a personal best score of 67 (-5). The left-hander finished in a tie for eighth place in the overall field of 123 golfers at 140 (-4). 

Senior Owen Hutchison was equally impressive to close out the first tournament of the spring. He started the morning with eight straight pars, then rattled off five straight birdies, then closed with five straight pars to notch a season-best score of 67 (-5). He finished just one stroke behind Mulvany, tied for 13th place at 141 (-3). 

Fellow senior Chad Hall made the most of his first competition of the season and ended up tied with Hutchison in 13th at 141 (-3). Hall followed up Monday's 72 by carding 69 (-3) today, tallying six birdies in his round.

Senior Adam Stone entered the tournament as the reigning CCAA Individual Medalist, a three-time CCAA Player of the Week in the fall, and the No. 13 ranked golfer in the nation according to Golfstat. And although Stone turned in solid play, this week he was just the fourth-best golfer on the team. The England native carded even par 72 on Tuesday to finish the week tied for 46th place at 145 (+1).

Freshman Chris Carney did not factor in East Bay's team scoring, but he nonetheless turned in very respectable scores and finished among the tournament leaders in total pars. Carney carved one stroke off his first round score with a 75 (+3) on Tuesday, giving him a total of 151 (+7) and a share of 92nd place.

Senior Joel Keylor, competing as an individual, improved his card by three strokes from Monday round. He finished in 121st place at 161 (+17) after shooting 79 (+7) in round two. 

Next up, CSUEB hosts the annual Tim Tierney Pioneer Shootout at Hiddenbrooke Golf Club on Feb. 24-25.
