Seaside, CA – Chris Crisologo added a little more hardware to his personal trophy case on Tuesday, as the junior wrapped up a solo victory at the Otter Invitational with a terrific second day. As a whole, the SFU Clan men's golf team took fifth in the three-round event, which was hosted by the Cal State Monterey Otters at Bayonet Golf Course.

Crisologo fought off Nova Southeastern's Richard Mansell and Felix Kvarnstrom of Lynn University through all three rounds, eventually ending the tournament with an eight-under-par 208 (69-68-71). Mansell finished two shots back (69-70-71-210), while Kvarnstrom ended up five back of Crisologo (69-72-72-213) on the par 72, 6848-yard course.

The rest of the Clan fell well behind Crisologo's pace, with Mitch Macleod (76-76-72) next, ending in a tie for 32nd with an eight-over-par 224. Sy Lovan (76-76-79) finished in a draw for 45th, ending his tournament at an 11-over-par 227. Both Kevin Vigna and Marcus Brown finished outside the tournament's top 50.

Overall, SFU's 19-over-par score of 886 (297-296-293) was good for fifth place, while Lynn University took the top spot with a one-over 865 (288-290-297).

For Crisologo, the win marks his second individual triumph of the season, following his victory at Western Washington last month.

The conclusion of the Otter Invitational also denotes the end of the Clan's fall schedule, as they are set to return to action next February for the NCAA DII Regional Preview.
