VALLEJO, Calif. -- Justin Shluker,
Nicolas Daniels and
Eric Ash all tied for 12th place on the individual leaderboard with an 11-over-par score of 227 as the Sonoma State men's golf team held on to finish in second place despite strong winds and a furious rally by Chico State in the final round of the 2015 Tim Tierney Pioneer Shootout at Hiddenbrooke Golf Club in Vallejo.
No. 10 Cal State Monterey Bay captured the team championship at 897 (+33), 10 strokes ahead of the Seawolves at 907 (+43) and 13 ahead of No. 3 Chico State, which posted the lowest score in the third round to climb up from eighth place to third place on the final day at 910 (+46). Dixie State's Kenny You (218; +2) captured individual medalist honors at the event, which served as a preview for the NCAA Division II West Regionals in May.
Ash (71-74-82--227) was tied for second place after Monday's second round, but a tough third round dropped him to 12th with Shluker (74-79-74) and Daniels (74-75-78--227).
