COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. - The Saint John's University golf team was ranked No. 7 in the latest Golf World Division III poll released Oct. 14.

Saint John's ended its fall season in style by winning the weather-shortened Twin Cities Classic on Sunday, Oct. 11, at the Links at Northfork in Ramsey. SJU finished with a one-over par 289. 

Freshman Mark Giorgi (Red Wing, Minn.) led the Johnnies as part of the nine-way tie for medalist with a two-under par 70. He was named the MIAC Men's Golf Co-Athlete of the Week for his performance. Sophomore #Tony Krogen# (Marshall, Minn.) followed with an even-par 72, while senior Ben Vangsness (Alexandria, Minn.) posted a 73 (+1). Junior Ben Cahill (Grand Rapids, Minn.) and freshman Dennis Granath (Bandhagen, Sweden/Farsta Gymnasium) tallied a 74 (+2) each.

Freshman Andy Stahlman (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) fired an even-par 72 as an individual, while sophomores Alex Wallerich (Lake City, Minn.) and Alex Klehr (Mankato, Minn./West) recorded a 74 (+2) and 78 (+6), respectively.

The win completes the first consecutive sweep of the Saint John's Invitational, Wis.-Eau Claire Invitational, MIAC Championship and Twin Cities Classic in the school's history. The win also concludes the Johnnies' first fall in which they did not lose to a fellow NCAA Division III opponent. SJU finished second to Division II Bemidji State at the Beavers' own invitational to begin the season Sept. 13-14.
