KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Gilberto Pena of the Queens University of Charlotte men's golf team finished in a tie for fourth place at the Queens Invitational contested at The Club at Irish Creek (par-71, 7,099 yards). Pena carded a 1-under 70 in Tuesday's final round to post a three-round score of 2-under 211, helping lead Queens to a ninth-place team finish in the 16-team field.
"Overall as a team, we got a chance to see where we are currently, and now we know what we need to work on looking forward to our next event," said head coach Andrew Serketich. "Gilberto played solidly both days. Finishing T-4th is very solid against this competition. Today he really battled and birdied three of his last four holes. As a team, we've talked about the importance of finishing strong, and while Gil had a great example of that, other guys also played well the last few holes. We have a lot to build upon and I'm excited to see how we progress."
Pena ended four shots back of Harry Butler from Mars Hill University, who won the tournament by two shots with a 6-under 207. Pena finished in a tie with 36-hole co-leader Marc Boucher from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.
Coker College took home the team title after posting a total of even-par 852. The University of Charleston (W.V.) took second with a score of 8-over 860, and Barton College (9-over 861) placed third. Queens posted an 880 to finish 28 shots back of the lead.

Brendan Hughes posted a combined 10-over 223 after shooting a 72 on Thursday, his lowest score of the week. Jonathan Noble tied for 44th with an 11-over 224.Hugh McLaren tied for 48th with a 12-over 225.Davis Hall and Rob Webster tied for 52nd with a 13-over 226.
