TOURNAMENT STATISTICS

BOCA RATON, Fla. – UConn senior Nick Harrington (Chaplin, Conn.) fired a career-best round of 7-under 65 on his way to a third consecutive Top 10 individual finish, leading the effort by the UConn golf team at the FAU Spring Championship at the Osprey Point Golf Club.

Harrington's 65 came during Saturday's second round and was part of Harrington's aggregate 6-under 75-65-70=210, good enough for a tie for 10^th place in the 78-player field. Harrington, whose 19 birdies were the second-most of any player in the tournament, has had the three Top 10 finishes of his career in UConn's last three events. He also now has 11 career Top 20 finishes, 10 sub-70 rounds, and 29 rounds of par or better.

Harrington led the Huskies' team performance of a 4-under 296-278-286=860, which tied for seventh place in the 14-team field. UConn's American Athletic Conference colleague UCF won the team championship with a 35-under 829 and UCF teammates Bobby Bai (16-under) and Kyler Tate (12-under) finished 1-2 on the player leaderboard.

Also for UConn, redshirt junior Drake Hull (Rutland, Vt.) shot a 1-under 71-72-72=215 to tie for 21^st place. Hull has 14 rounds of par-or-better this season. Senior Jimmy Hervol (Hopkinton, Mass.) shot a 4-over 74-74-72=220, including his 55^th career round of par-or-better, to finish in a tie for 42^nd place.

Junior Tim Umphrey (Northborough, Mass.) and redshirt junior Zach Iannone (Hamden, Conn.) each tied for 48^th place with a 5-over 76-71-74=221 and a 79-70-72=221, respectively. Umphrey recorded his 18^th par-or-better round, while Iannone added two par-or-better rounds to up his career total to nine.

Playing as an individual, UConn sophomore Jack Boulger (Walpole, Mass.) shot a 1-over 72-72-73=217 to tie for 34^th place. He now has seven career rounds of par-or-better.

The Huskies will continue their spring season on April 5-7 as they travel to Sunset, S.C., to compete in the prestigious Clemson Invitational at the Cliffs at Keowee Falls.
