The Coe men’s golf team had its final tune-up for the Iowa Conference Tournament, with a 6th place finish in the 17 team Buena Vista Invitational this past Friday and Saturday in Storm Lake. The Kohawks shot 322 the first day and a season best 305 on the final round of the tournament. Central College won the Invitational, shooting rounds of 292-294.
Brothers Nolan and Jayson Schmelzer led the way for the Kohawks this past weekend. Senior Jayson Schmelzer shot rounds of 78-75, while Nolan shot the same score with rounds of 80-73, putting them both in a tie for 16th. Also competing for the Kohawks were seniors Chris Buhr 78-79, junior Nate Feldman 86-78 and sophomore Rob Copeland 92-80. The Kohawks placed second amongst Iowa Conference schools and enter the conference tournament with the 3rd best scoring average amongst the competing schools.
“As a team we had a pretty good second day at BV,” says Nolan Schmlezer who enters the Iowa Conference tournament with the best scoring average for the Kohawks. “It was nice to see our entire team well in our last meet before conference.”
The Iowa Conference Tournament begins this Friday and Saturday with the first half of the tournament taking place at Finkbine golf course in Iowa City. The tournament then concludes with the final two rounds next Friday and Saturday at Oneota Country Club in Decorah.
Central College is overwhelming favorite again this year to repeat as conference champions, but the Kohawks like their chances to be competitive and make a good run at the conference as well.
“Were good,” says Nolan Schmelzer. “If we get everyone playing to there capabilities we got a good chance at being right there with Central.” Good luck to the Kohawks in there run in the Iowa Conference tournament.
