TURLOCK, Calif-  Without the services of two-time defending national player of the year Jarin Todd, who fell ill on Monday night, the Sonoma State men's golf team finished fourth at the Hanny Stanislaus Invitational in Turlock.  Ryan Carter led the Seawolves with a strong fifth place finish on a day where scores were much higher than on Monday. 

Todd left Monday's play in fifth place overall after firing consecutive 71's.  Unable to play on Tuesday, the Seawolves had no room for error and they were stuck with a 75 (Carter) and three 79's.  Those 79's don't sound so bad when you consider that just six of the 79 golfers competing on Tuesday shot under 75. 

Following Carter's fifth place finish (74-69-75--218), the Seawolves got a 16th place showing from Tyler Schmuckle (73-74-79--226).  Patrick Bauer (78-71-79--228) in 22nd and Jeremy Wendelken (78-78-79--235) in 36th rounded out the Seawolves' four finishers.

Cal State Stanislaus won the event by three strokes of a hard-charging Cal State San Bernardino squad.  Jake Koppenberg of Western Washington took individual medalist honors at 70-71-72--213, three shots ahead of Teddy Schrier of Stanislaus (68-71-77--216).

The Seawolves will now great ready for the post-season.  Their first event, the CCAA Championship Tournament, begins on April 20th at Hunter Ranch Golf Course in Paso Robles.
