STATE COLLEGE, PA. -- The 2011 fall golf season for the Apprentice School ended on Tuesday with a second straight round of 316 to move up a slot to third place at the 2011 USCAA Golf Nationals at the Penn State University Blue Course.

Lindenwood-Belleville ended the two-year run of Rochester College by taking the team title with a six-over-par 294 on Tuesday ending the event at 597.  Rochester was second as they shot a 316 on Tuesday for a two-day 618.  The Builders put a pair of 316 rounds on the board to finish at 632 and in third place as 15 teams competed in the championships.

Sophomore Ben Hunter finished the event alone in third place at four-over-par-148 following a second round 75 to earn his second USCAA All-American honor.  He was the low man for the Builders on Tuesday.  Hunter is the first two-time USCAA All-American for the Builders since current assistant coach B.J.
