COBLESKILL — Coming off a fall season that saw them capture a pair of invitational titles while posting three second-place finishes, the SUNY Cobleskill men’s golf team enters the 2019 campaign ranked fourth overall in the North Eastern Athletic Conference Preseason Coaches Poll.

“The ranking is more a reflection on last year’s conference tournament finish so it’s not surprising that we are ranked where we are,” Fighting Tigers head coach Joseph McCarthy. “Hopefully by the time we get to the championship tournament we will play well enough to move up in the standings.”

Cobleskill’s success will be dependent on a pair of Second Team All-NEAC honorees in senior Cody Latimer (Mayville/Chautauqua Lake-Jamestown Community College), who placed eighth at the league’s 2018 championship tournament and senior Colin Hizny (Endicott/Union-Endicott High School-SUNY Broome), who finished ninth at the league’s championship event.

Also returning for the Fighting Tigers this season is sophomore Joe Perry (Watertown/South Jefferson High School), who was named the NEAC Golfer of the Week during the fall after winning the 2018 SUNY Cobleskill Jug Classic on Sept. 7.

Among the freshman Brock Ricketts (Cherry Creek/Pine Valley High School) had an excellent fall season and will be counted on to continue to improve during the drive towards the league championship tournament.

The Fighting Tigers will open the spring season when they travel to Bloomfield, New Jersey for the 2019 New York University Spring Invitational hosted by the Violets at the Forest Hill Country Club on Saturday, March 30, beginning at 1 p.m. and Sunday, March 31 at 8 a.m.
