Townsend, Mass. - Finishing with an even 140 across 36 holes, Adelphi University men's golf team freshman Mitchell Archer has won his first ever collegiate tournament at the Franklin Pierce Fall Invitational, hosted at Northern Spy Golf Club in Townsend, Mass. 

After an opening round score of one-over 71, the Dewitt, N.Y. native not only kept his pace but improved by two strokes on Tuesday. One-under 69 was good enough for best of the day, giving Archer the two-stroke win. 

"Amazing performance by Mitchell winning his first college tournament! He will be a critical force for us as the program reaches for new heights over the next four years," remarked 2023-24 NE10 Coach of the Year David Mattana.

Senior Alec Ramos was the closest Panther to the victor, also using a stronger Day 2 to tie for 14th with a total score of eight-over 148. Johnny Solari and Francis Lanuza saw themselves next to each other on the scorecard, finishing 29th and 30th and hitting 13 and 14-over, respectively. 

Kobe Currie used consistency to his advantage over the weekend, shooting a 79 on both days to tie for 38th. Mason Rivera rounded out the Panther scorecard with a total score of 20-over 160. 

Mattana and the 'Cats will be back in action next week from Monday, Sept. 16 - Tuesday, Sept. 17 at the Granite State Opener, hosted by Southern New Hampshire University at Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord, N.H.
