UNCG Tops High Point in Carolina Cup Match Play

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNCG men's golf team won the weather-shortened inaugural Carolina Cup match-play event Saturday over Triad rival High Point at the Grandover Resort. The event was trimmed to just one day due to winter weather in the area but the Spartans posted a 5-2 victory over the Panthers with snow falling on the final holes of play.

Sophomores Roy Dixon and Alex Ehlert picked up full points for the Spartans as they posted 3-up victories over McKay Tye and L.J. Georgetti, respectively. Freshman Taylor Coalson also notched a 3-up victory in match play defeating High Point's Logan McGuire.

Senior Robert Hoadley tallied a 2-up victory over Chase Wilson while freshman Luke Haithcock rounded out the Spartans' victories with a 1-up win over Tony Dillon.

Freshman Wilson Brown and senior Matt Younts each dropped a point in the match-play event to round out the day's pairings.
