PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. - The Drexel golf team repeated as champions at the Temple Invitational this weekend. The Dragons entered the day in third place, but had a solid performance on Sunday and picked up their first victory of the young season. Drexel finished two strokes better than Penn and 11 shots ahead of third-place La Salle. Drue Nicholas led the way for the Dragons. The senior finished in second place at even par over the two-day event.

The Dragons had the second-lowest round of any of the 12 teams at the 1912 Club on Sunday. Caleb Taylor had the best round of the day for DU. The junior shot even-par 70, one of five players on the course to shoot par on the day. No player broke par on the 7,062-yard, par-70 course. Taylor finished in seventh place overall at 143 (+3). Kevin Lydon had a good day on Sunday, carding at 71. John Keba contributed with a 72.

The Dragons now have eight wins over the last two full seasons and the two events this fall. They will be off until Oct. 20, when they travel to Powells Point, N.C. and try to repeat as champions at the ODU/OBX Intercollegiate.
