BOWLING GREEN, Ohio-  Senior Aaron Monson led the UIndy men's golf team to a fourth-place finish at the 11th annual John Piper Intercollegiate at Stone Ridge Golf Club Monday and Tuesday.  The Perry Meridian grad fired a 69 in the third and final round to vault him into second at the 56-man event.

The golfers battled wet conditions Monday, especially in the first round.  Host Bowling Green State went on to take the team title after defeating Loyola-Chicago in a playoff, while Loyola's Alex Cusumano (76-71-69) was the medalist.  UIndy was the only non-D-I school in the field.

Monson (76-73-69) entered the final round tied for eighth until his three-under score earned him the runner-up spot.   The tally marked his fourth collegiate round in the 60s, two off his personal best of 67 set in September of 2008.

Senior Rob Gleixner (T-19) and sophomore David Frank (T-21) each carded an even-par round at the 54-hole tournament, while Florida Southern transfer Tobin Dunigan (79-79-75) finished in 29th in his first action as a Greyhound.  Sophomore Max Bowling (74-75) was five-over par for 36 holes after a DQ in the opening round.

The Hounds fielded a “Grey” team as well.  The quintet was led by freshman Terek Abdalla (82-75-73), who shared 24th.

After a solid showing among the Division I ranks, UIndy will mix it up with its peers when its travels to South Haven, Mich., and HawksHead Links for the year's first regional Sept. 25-26.  The Hounds took the team title at last year's the fall regional, also held at Hawkshead.
