Victor, N.Y. – Sophomore Anthony Maglisco (Syracuse, N.Y./Westhill) tied for first place to lead the Le Moyne College men's golf team against Niagara University in the Upstate Dual Challenge on Saturday afternoon at the par-72, 6642-yard Ravenwood Golf Club.

Maglisco, who made his season debut, tied with Niagara's Ben Fey for the top individual score with a one-under par 71, which featured four birdies. Graduate student Nicholas Bove (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee), who also made his season debut, placed third in the 18-member field with an even par 72, including a trio of birdies. Senior Tyler Birdd (Elma, N.Y./Iroquois) finished in a four-way tie for eighth place with a 77, while classmate Spencer Baum (Syracuse, N.Y./Liverpool) recorded a 79 to place 14th.
