ANNAPOLIS, MD -- The GW golf team shot a combined 623 to finish in a three-way tie for ninth eighth at the Navy Spring Invitational, Saturday and Sunday, at the par-71, 6,611-yard Naval Academy Golf Course in Annapolis, MD.

GW sophomore Brian Carroll (Crystal Lake, IL/Crystal Lake South) continued his outstanding play this spring by shooting a 73-77 for an eight-over 150, good for sixth out of 115 individuals.
