DATE: April 17, 2005

HOT SPRINGS, VA -- Senior Steve Banks and sophomore Josh Williamowsky both shot team-best scores of 76 as the University of Delaware shot a team score of 309 and finished eighth after the final round of the Colonial Athletic Association Golf Championships at the The Cascades Course at the Homestead Resort Sunday afternoon.

Delaware, which shot a three-round team score of 937, finished in eighth place, its best finish since placing eighth in the Blue Hens' first year in the CAA in 2002. The Blue Hens finished ninth each of the last two seasons.

Sophomore Joe McLister (right) finished as the Blue Hens' top individual as he shot 78 Sunday to finish in a tie for 23rd place with an overall score of 230 over the 6,679-yard, par 70 course. McLister improved seven spots from a 30th place finish last season at the CAA Tournament.

Virginia Commonwealth was third at 895 followed by William & Mary (900), James Madison (907), Old Dominion (921), George Mason (936), Delaware (937), Drexel (941), and Hofstra (959).

UNC Wilmington placed three golfers in the top 10 as Brian Joyce took medalist honors with a score of 71-71-68=210, Will Shambley was eighth at 78-73-72=223, and Marc-Andre Roy was 10th at 74-75-77=226. VCU's Manual Relancio was second at 217 (74-74-69) while defending champion Billy Wingerd of Towson was third at 219 (73-74-72).
