HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa. — Led by medalist and individual tournament champ Peyton Mussina, Penn College's golf team captured its second straight United East Championship on Sunday and earned a trip to the NCAA Division III Championship next month.

For their efforts, Mussina was named the Golfer of the Year and earned a first-team spot along with teammate Trevor Keaton. Gavin Baer, Gunner Redmond, and Will Orwig were named to the UE second team, and Rob Lytle garnered his second consecutive Coach of the Year honor.

How it happened: Mussina posted rounds of 70 on Saturday and 79 on Sunday for a 149 to lead the 45-player field — and win by five strokes — on the par-70, 6,502-yard Philmont Country Club North Course. Also for the Wildcats, Keaton shot 80-78—158 and tied for fourth, Orwig shot 78-81—159 and tied for sixth, Baer shot 78-82—160 and tied for eighth, and Redmond shot 78-82—160, also tied for eighth, with his Saturday score used toward the team total and Keaton's Sunday round only used toward the team total as only the low four individual scores are used for each round.

The field: As a team, Penn College had rounds of 304-320—624 and bettered Penn State Harrisburg's 311-322—633 by nine shots. Following were Lancaster Bible College 335-322—657, Rutgers-Camden 332-327—659, Penn State Abington 327-336—663, Wilson College 336-346—682, Penn State Berks 345-345—690, Rosemont 376-378—754, and Clarks Summit 446-414—860.
