ROME, N.Y. - American University finished first in the AU Classic behind the outstanding effort of freshman Todd Shagin (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood).

Long Island University finished second in the team scoring race at 604, while La Salle and Mount St. Mary’s finished tied for third at 626. Colgate, Holy Cross and Fairfield all tied for fifth at 636.

Junior Chris Schieffer (Wilmington, Del./Salesianum) was tied for first after the first round of the day when he and Donnelly both shot a 71. Schieffer posted a 77 in the second round and finished the day with a 148 (5th best score of the day). Junior Phil Kief (Kingwood, Tx./Kingwood) had a 149 after his two rounds of 74 and 75, which placed him sixth for the day.

Senior David Stone (Morgantown, W.V./Morgantown) had a 154 (76-78) while fellow senior Seth Kaplan (Dallas, Tx./J.J. Pearce) finished at 162 (82-80).
