ITHACA, N.Y. -- The University of Delaware men's golf team will compete in its second tournament of the fall season this weekend when the Blue Hens head north to participate in the Cornell Invitational.
The 54-hole tournament will feature two rounds on Saturday beginning with a 7:30 a.m. shotgun start, while Sunday's final round will begin at 8 a.m. The 14-team field will include the Blue Hens, two Cornell squads, Binghamton, Brown, Bucknell, Canisius, Colgate, Penn, Princeton, Rider, Saint Joseph's, Siena and Towson.
The invitational will be held on Robert Trent Jones Golf Course at Cornell University, which is 6,904 yards and has a par 71.
Delaware will be looking to improve on last week's seventh place team finish at the Navy Fall Classic, and will take the same five golfers to Cornell. Sophomore Jack Gianniny tied for 13th place at Navy with a one over par 77-66-143, while his second round 66 tied for the third lowest score in school history. Kieran Purcell tied for 19th place at the invitational with a 75-71-146, while Blaine Lafferty fired a 74-72-146 to also tie for 19th place.
Kyle Martin, who carded a 75-75-105, and Mark Benevento, who recorded a 76-79-155, will also compete for the Blue Hens at Cornell.
