Toreld, Guibert qualify for NJCAA District D Championship

TUNICA, Mississippi – The Co-Lin Wolf Pack golf team finished eighth in the Mississippi Association of Community College Conference (MACCC) Golf Championship held at Tunica Golf Club. Due to the threat of inclement weather, the second round was played Monday afternoon.

"We made the turn in really good shape in the first round, but the wheels fell of on their last nine holes," said Co-Lin head coach Allen Kent. "Our first round was disastrous. We dug such a deep hole, that with a much improved second round, we weren't able to qualify as a team.
