LITITZ, Pa. – Franklin & Marshall's men's golf team shot a 308 on Monday to capture the Bent Creek Invitational with seven strokes on the 16-team field. The Diplomats took their second consecutive tournament by landing two golfers in the top ten and four in the top 20.

His effort was good enough for seventh place and was four strokes off of Moravian's Thomas Fenyak championship 71. Fenyak's Greyhounds finished in second place with a 315. For Warner, the seventh place finish marks the 12^th top ten effort through the 25 events he has played.

F&M's Danny Liebowitz also finished in the top ten with a 76, leaving him in a three-way tie for eighth place. Liebowitz landed in the top ten for the 14^th time in 26 career tournaments.

Mike Levenson tied for 14^th place with Moravian's Luke Smith, each having shot 78. Jeremy Rubin tied for 16^th place to round out the championship scoring with a 79. Playing as an individual entrant, F&M's Zach Bereznak was in the tie for 16^th along with Rubin and York's Andrew Schmel.

Brendan Mohler wrapped up the F&M five tying for 26^th place with an 81.

 The Diplomats second entry finished in 10^th place with a 330, a single stroke behind Stevens Tech and Wesley.  Franklin & Marshall "White" placed four golfers in the top 35 in the 85-golfer field.  Dave Gilbert and Kevin Goserud both shot 82 and finished in a five-way tie for 29^th place. Steve Colalillo and Jin Hwang each shot an 83 and landed in a seven-way tie for 34^th.  Harry Russell shot 86 to finish in a tie for 51^st.
