VERONA, N.Y. – Roberto Nieves tied for fourth place with a sizzling seven under par while Delaware tied for third place in the team standings during an impressive performance at the season-opening Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate.
After carding a pair of 70 rounds on Sunday, Nieves fired a three under par 69 on Monday on the par 72, 6,803-yard Kaluhyat Course at Turning Stone Casino Resort, finishing with a seven under par 209. Nieves' score is three shots from the UD three-round record of 206 set by Justin Martinson in 2005.

Jack Melville carded an even par 72 on Monday to finish in 15th place with a four over par 75-73-72-220, while Matt Pulgini also fired an even par during his final round to tie for 16th place at six over par 80-70-72-222.
