PETERSBURG, Va. – The Savannah State men's golf team won the NCAA Division I title at the annual Virginia State Trojan Fall Classic in Petersburg, Virginia this past weekend.  
 
The Tigers combined for a two-round team score of 590. SSU shot a 281 as a team to open the tournament, and closed out with a 309. They beat fellow Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) teams North Carolina Central (628) and Hampton University (653).
 
SSU senior Travis Roe led the Tigers with a two-round score of 144. Roe shot a 66 to open the tournament. In the second round, Roe shot a 78 tying with Virginia State's Matthew Genchi who shot a 72 and 72.
 
Roe and Genchi were forced into a playoff round to determine the overall individual medalist. Genchi drained an 18-foot putt for medalist honors, while Roe came up short on a 17-footer, to finish second overall. Genchi and Roe both finished at even par.
 
Sophomore Trevor Podner finished third overall in the individual standings after shooting a 146 for the tournament (69 and 77). Brandon Neals finished tied for fourth with Chowan University's Sean Wilson. Neals shot a 149 (72 and 77) over the two rounds.

On the women's side, SSU played a dual match with fellow MEAC institution Hampton University at the VSU Fall Classic.
