ALLIANCE, Ohio - The Malone University men's golf team was triumphant at the Phipps Memorial at Alliance Country Club on Thursday morning. The Pioneers shot 296 as a team.
 
Malone was led by Fletcher Cravens and Jaxon Rinkes. The two tied for second-place with a score of 73. Cravens went 2-under on the back nine and carded three birdies. Rinkes hit for birdie on three of the four par-5 holes and was even-par on the back nine.
 
Deagan Beaber and Andrew Fredenburg wrapped up play at 75 and just missed a spot inside the top-five. Beaber had two birdies and Fredenburg three, but both were also even-par on the back nine as well. The final member of the Pioneer A-team was Alexander Eckstein at 78. His lone birdie came on the par-5 ninth hole.
 
Alfie Craker was the low-man on Malone's B-team. He scored a 73 with three birdies on the day to enter into the tie for second-place on the leaderboard.
