Smithville, Mo. - (Paradise Pointe – Par 72 – 6710 yards) - Minnesota State won its second consecutive NSIC Men’s Golf Championship as the Mavericks finished 12 strokes ahead of Winona State after the fourth and final round played at Paradise Pointe in Smithville, Missouri.  The Mavericks, which have won six of the last eight NSIC Championships, earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Central/Midwest Regional.

Minnesota State shot a final round 298 to finish at 1176, 32-over-par.  Winona State finished second at 1188 (+44) while St. Cloud State was third at 1190 (+46).  Bemidji State was fourth at 1197 (+53) while Augustana and Concordia-St. Paul tied for fifth at 1220 (+76).

The Mavericks were led by Kelton Schmitz who shot a final round 3-under-par 69 to earn NSIC Championship Medalist honors. Schmitz opened the championship last fall with an opening round 69 at the Jewel in Lake City, Minnesota.  In the second and third rounds he shot identical rounds of 75 to finish at 288 for the championship, 2-over-par.  Schmitz finished four strokes ahead of Bemidji State’s Cody Cook (72-73-76-71=292 +6) and five strokes ahead of Winona State’s Jonathan Lindquist (72-72-75-74=293 +7).  Bemidji State’s Will Czeh and St. Cloud State’s Troy Ryynanen tied for fourth place and joined Lindquist, Cook and Schmitz on the NSIC All-Tournament Team.
