LENOIR CITY, Tenn. — The Catawba College men's golf team snagged its fifth consecutive podium finish of the season, taking home third place at the Tennessee River Rumble that wrapped up Tuesday afternoon at WindRiver Golf Club.

Catawba posted its third-best score of the season at a four-over-par 868 thanks to their third-round 292 tying Wingate for the lowest team score on Day 2. The fifth-ranked Bulldogs won the team prize with 863 total strokes (-1), leading runner-up Lincoln Memorial by four shots and the Catawba Indians by five.

Wingate's Lewis Beeden shot an 11-under 205 in the tournament to earn first place on the individual leaderboard. Harry Dickins of Lincoln Memorial took runner-up honors while trailing by three strokes, followed by Grand Valley State's Andrew Gwilliams to round out the podium.
