“The University is very proud of the efforts of the CSUMB men's golf team,” said Vince Otoupal, Director of Athletics. “All year they have been in pursuit of greatness. Their 5:30 a.m. workouts paid off on the course today. They have been solid performers in the classroom as well. Coach Owen and his student-athletes played intelligently and well as a team. This is a good day for CSUMB and Otter Athletics. These victories today continue to show that we are making strides toward being a great well-rounded program.”

The Otters will next compete in the NCAA West Regional held at Classic Club Golf Course in Palm Desert on May 3-4.
