BOLIVAR, Mo. - The UIndy men's golf team capped the 2025 GLVC Championships with a second-place finish after falling in the final match. This year's tournament was held at Silo Ridge Country Club in Bolivar, Mo.
 
"Super proud of our team and fight this week," remarked head coach Andy Serketich. "Obviously, it's tough to lose in the final match, but it was an overall great week."
 
TUESDAY
It was a repeat of last year's championship match with UIndy facing Missouri S&T for the title. This time, the Greyhounds fell to the Minors, 4-1. Alexander Nestun (74) gave the Hounds their only point of the match, besting his opponent by two strokes.
 


The No. 4-seeded Greyhounds upset No. 1 UMSL, 4-1, in the semifinal. Drew Rowen (70), Cameron Young (70), and Netsun (70) all finished under par to win their respective matches. The largest win was by Nestun, who defeated his opponent by three strokes. Jackson Watkins (75) also won his match by one stroke.
 


"We played great the semifinal match against UMSL. Drew, Alex, Cam and Jackson all won their matches against a very strong UMSL team," said Serketich. "Unfortunately, we got off to a tough start in the Championship match and couldn't fully recover. Congrats to Missouri S&T; they played great golf this afternoon and have been great all year."
 
The Greyhounds await the announcement of the 2025 NCAA DII Regional Field, which is set for Friday, April 25. The regional itself is set for May 8-10 in St. Joseph, Mo.
