HOLLAND, Mich. - The Alma College men's golf team maintained its fourth place standings in the MIAA after finishing sixth at the Hope MIAA Jamboree with a team score of 316.

The Scots were led by Evan Kay (St. Albert, Alberta/Paul Kane) with a 77 while Kyle Travis (Shepherd) and Chris Lowry (Clinton Twp./Dakota) carded 79. Rounding out individuals for the Scots, Patrick Seymour (New Buffalo) shot 81 while Corbin Swiastyn (Gagetown/Owen-Gage) carded 83.

The Scots return to the links Saturday (Oct. 1) at Adrian's MIAA Jamboree. With only two conference tournaments remaining in the season, the Scots are solidly in fourth place, averaging just over 313 per round as a team.

 

The Alma College Percussion Ensemble performed at the prestigious Centrum Jazz Festival, an international festival in Port Townsend, Wash., in July 2007. Alma was the only college group invited to perform. “It’s a huge honor,” says faculty director Dave Zerbe. “You can’t apply to perform there; they seek you out.”
