Howey-in-The-Hills, Fla. – The Stevens Institute of Technology men's golf team completed a previously suspended Round 1 of the NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships on Wednesday, finishing the first 18 holes in 36^th place with a team total of 313 (+25).

After rain Tuesday forced much of the field, including all five Ducks to play the remaining holes from Round 1 this morning.

Arav Tank and Sebastian Beaver shared the team's low round with matching 77's (+5). Ben Slicker was a shot back of Tank & Beaver, and Jack Harris & Noah Eide were each three shots of back of Slicker with 81's.

Starting at the 10^th hole, Beaver, Tank, Slicker, and Eide all played the back nine at +1 or +2, while Tank, Beaver, and Harris all played the front nine at +3 or +4.

No. 7 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps topped the field with an opening round four-under (284), one shot better than No. 4 Carnegie Mellon, and two better than No. 12 Kenyon – the only three teams under par through the first 18.
