Maru Honored as Empire 8 Men's Golfer of the Week
Freshman Jim Maru of the Moravian College golf team has been honored as the Empire 8 Conference Men's Golfer of the Week for his performance last week.
Maru shot two rounds of 76 last week to lead Moravian. He had the low score at five-over par as the Greyhounds defeated York College of Pennsylvania and DeSales University - 318-323-329 in a tri-match hosted by DeSales. Maru then was four-over par to tie for 11th of 88 golfers at the Elizabethtown College Spring Blue Jay Classic at the Hershey Links. The two rounds of 76 lowered Maru's season average from 87.4 to 84.1 strokes per round and were the first times in seven total rounds he had been below 80.
Moravian is scheduled to return to action at the Cabrini College Spring Classic on Tuesday, April 9th at the Rivercrest Golf Club beginning at 12:00 p.m.
