PHILADELPHIA, Mississippi – The Co-Lin golf team came from behind to capture fourth place in the Mississippi Community College Conference (MACCC) Event #5 hosted by East Central Community College at Dancing Rabbit Country Club. The Wolves, who started today in fifth place five shots behind the host East Central, finished strong with a final round of 312 for a two-day total of 635 to overtake the Warriors who finished at 643.

"The team score was better today, even though conditions were toucher," said Co-Lin golf coach Allen Kent. "Ty played well again. Hopefully, Navid will be able to play in the next tournament."
