NORTH EAST, Pa. — Thiel freshman Jason Thorp (Curwensville) was declared champion of the Penn State Behrend Invitational via a scorecard tiebreaker after being one of three players who toured the Lake View Country Club in one-over-par 73 on Monday, Sept. 22.

His season-low score led the Tomcats to a second place finish, three strokes behind Grove City.

Freshman Brett Gardner (Curwensville) carded a season-low 83 that was the third best score for Pitt-Bradford, which wound up sixth among the 10 teams with a 329 total.

Gardner, who tied for 23rd place in the 50-player tourney, was medalist for the Panthers the following day in the La Roche Invitational by posting a 44-45-89 at the Wildwood Country Club in Allison Park.

The Panthers were last in the 11-team field with a 500.
