Opening Match Win over Loyola

Tight scoring marked the first match of the 2013 season as four players shot three-over 39s and two posted four-over 40s on the way to a 196 - 218 victory over Loyola Blakefield at Norbeck CC in Rockville, MD. The weatherman did not get the forecast quite right and the boys played under overcast skies with a brisk Southerly wind that made the temperature feel colder than the reported 57 degrees. Due to course maintenance, the match was played over the back nine rather than usual front side. Neither team had played the back nine before.
