SPARTANBURG, SC – Led by senior Lukas Crisp's five-under-par 67, Francis Marion University recorded its lowest team round in 13 seasons and the Patriots climbed to a fifth-place finish after Tuesday's final round of the 27th-annual Coca-Cola Wofford Invitational Golf Tournament.

The two-day 54-hole event was contested on the 6,648-yard, par-72 Country Club of Spartanburg course.

Francis Marion stood 10th after an opening-round 294 and entered Tuesday in eighth position after a second-round 284.  Over the final 18 holes, the Patriots posted a nine-under 279 tally to finish at seven-under-par 857 for 54 holes.  The 279 round was the lowest for Francis Marion as an NCAA Division I member and the best score since posting a 277 during the final round of the 2002 Division II Southeast Regional Tournament in Sneads Ferry, N.C.

Army earned the team title after leading wire-to-wire and finishing at 30-under-par 834, six strokes ahead of Wofford College (840).  Presbyterian College placed third at 854, followed by Western Carolina University in fourth at 856 and FMU in fifth.  Four of the five Patriot golfers recorded sub-par rounds on Tuesday.
