LEWISBURG, P.A. – FDU completed a clean sweep of the Bucknell Invitational at Bucknell Golf Course, winning the team tournament on a recorded program-record 23 under par. Sophomore Angad Singh captured his first collegiate individual title with a program-record two-round total of 10 under par.
 
After the first day's play was canceled due to adverse weather, Singh opened with a 7-under 63, the lowest recorded round relative to par in program history. His historic round featured nine birdies. Holding the overnight lead did not faze Singh, as he opened the second round with a birdie. Another highlight-reel round of 67 earned him the individual championship, three shots clear of the nearest challenger.
 
Building on his great performance in the previous tournament, Senior Jake Portugal secured a tied-6^th finish on 5 under par. After a back-and-forth first round, Portugal put together a clean 65 in the second. Six birdies and one bogey showed exceptional consistency, with the senior finishing the tournament with a 3.70 average on the par 4s, trailing only Singh in this stat for the week.
 
The sophomore duo of Shreyas Sanmathy and Pietro Maria Piccoli closely followed on a score of 4 under par in tied-6^th. Sanmathy shot a 66 in the second round, during which he birdied every par 5. Piccoli recorded 15 pars in the second round to finish with a 1-under 69. Piccoli finished the tournament 2^nd in par 3 scoring at 2 under par.
 
Freshman Ruoshi Chen got his first appearance in Burgundy and Blue this week. After a tough first round, the youngster showed resilience to bounce back with a 1-over-par 71 on day two. Senior William McKernan also featured this week as an individual, finishing in a tie for 35^th on a score of 2-over-par.
