The IUP men’s golf team won a record 32nd PSAC championship yesterday, leading all three rounds at the Iron Valley Golf Club in Lebanon, PA. Freshman Guillermo Salazar captured medalist honors for the tournament for IUP, which won its fourth-straight conference crown. He carded a three-under 69 in the final round for a 217, winning the individual by one stroke against Gannon’s Abe Holmes.
Salazar is IUP’s 18th PSAC individual champion since 1993 and the 11th since 2007.
The title was the fourth in as many seasons for head coach Dan Braun, whose lineup featured four golfers inside the top 10 overall. Shaun Fedor and Alex Swinnerton tied for third in the tournament, and Jackson Buccigross tied for eighth.
The conference championship clinches a berth in the 2023 NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Region Championships for the Crimson Hawks. The appearance will be the 26th in program history, a region record.
