BEAUMONT, Calif. – Cal Lutheran men's golf delivered this past weekend, finishing second at SCIAC No. 2 at Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon while knocking off No. 24 Pomona-Pitzer behind a standout individual performance from Jackson Stitt.

His performance powered the Kingsmen to a runner-up team finish at +38, as Cal Lu showed improvement from round one (+22) to round two (+15) in a competitive conference field.

Ryan Mattivi turned in a solid performance to finish tied for ninth at +11, opening with a steady 75 before adding an 80 in the final round. Nick Huffman followed closely behind, placing tied for 14th at +13. After a challenging first round, he bounced back with a 3-over 75 on Saturday to climb the standings.

Tate Evans finished tied for 21st at +15, improving in the second round with a 78, while Ty Kuroda rounded out the scoring lineup in 26th at +17.

Competing as individuals, Luke Rimkunas delivered an impressive showing with a seventh-place finish at +9, highlighted by a strong 3-over 75 in round two. Aidan Allen also competed as an individual, placing tied for 17th at +14.
