| By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Jeremy Martin led the way as the Northern Kentucky University men's golf team claimed a fifth-place finish at the Drury Invitational at Rivercut Golf Course. Martin shot a five-under-par (70-69—139) on the par-72 course to claim a one-stroke victory over Truman State's Chris Kovach (68-72—140). Martin is the third NKU golfer to take an individual victory this season. Eric Fuldner, who medaled at the Wasioto Winds Fall Kick-off in early September, carded a 150 (76-74) to share 19th place. Clint Kohls (79-75—154), who won the individual event at the NKU Fall Invitational, and Danny Lewis (78-76—154) shared 35th place, while Will Brown (81-74 155) added his second-round score to the team total while finishing 43rd. For Lewis, it was the first time this season he has finished out of the top five. As a team, the Norse finished 19-over-par (303-292—595), seven strokes behind team champion Missouri Western State, which shot 11-over-par (281-306—587) to win the event by two strokes over Truman State (293-296—589). Missouri Southern (294-299—593) and Arkansas Tech (300-294—594) helped to round out the top five.
