The Fairfield University men's golf team earned a 4-3 win over Bethune-Cookman University to finish in third place at the STX Match Play hosted by Towson University.  The three-day, eight-team event, played at Towson Golf and Country Club, concluded on Monday afternoon.

Scott Rainaud earned his third win in as many outings in the #7 match, defeating Emmanuel Petrich 1 up. Nick Taylor earned his first match win of the weekend, but it was the decisive point, with a 3&2 win over Rafael Abad.  Fairfield earned its other points with 1up decisions for Patrick Lynch and Peter Repetto.

Eric Johnson fell 3&2 in the fifth match to Alex Clapp while Ricky Dowling dropped a hard fought 2&1 decision to Ryan Fricker.  Steve Burak dropped a 5&4 match to Matthew McKnight.
