BELCHERTOWN, Mass. – Suffolk men's golf put together a third-place showing at the Blazers Invitational over the weekend.  The Rams shot a 307 at The Ledges Golf Club before carding a 331 at the Cold Springs Country Club to finish the weekend with a team card of 638.

Suffolk's two-day score of 638 fell behind Amherst (603) and Eastern Connecticut State (615), but was the third-best performance by a squad in the 11-team field that included Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) counterparts Gordon (649) and Roger Williams (690), who claimed fourth and eighth, respectively. 

Cameron Sinopoli had a standout showing at the event. The junior captain shot a career-low 72 in South Hadley, Massachusetts Saturday. On Sunday, at Cold Springs, he put totaled an 80 with an impressive eagle on the 11th hole to finish the weekend with a 152, good for a share of fifth in the 56-golfer field. 

Mauro Stanchieri had a top-10 finish as well. The junior from El Hatillo, Venezuela, shaved one stroke off his day one score of 79, on the second day of action to finish with a 157 to tie for 10th. 

Jake Zirlin's 162 was broken down to a 76 (+5) day one and an 86 day two score. That outing put the sophomore from Sleepy Hollow, Illinois in a share of 16th. 

Christopher Sinopoli tied for 27th with a two-day total of 167 and Vijay Sakuru's 170 was good for a share of 30th.
