Viking Highlights
• Landon Painter continued his stellar fall form, firing three under-par rounds and finishing runner-up individually at six under par (210). His consistent play paced the Vikings throughout the week.
• Zack Lim and Cam Baker both tied for fourth at +1, each contributing key rounds under par to keep Berry in front.
• Bjorn Lindquist posted a first-round 71 (-1) and added steady play to anchor the lineup.
• Jay Sanders rounded out the A-team effort, carding three counting scores that helped secure the team victory.
     - Zack Lim made a hole in one on the Par 3 12th in the final round.  This was a huge pick me up as the Vikings had made a few bogeys and Southern VIrginia had rolled off 4 birdies and an eagle of their own to get within two

Coach Farrer and Coach Wilson praised the group's composure and course management:
"The guys did a great job staying patient and sticking to our game plan, especially in the final round when conditions got tougher. Winning at home is always special, and it's a great confidence boost."
