BILLINGS, MT – After the first day of the annual Collegiate Cup between the MSUB and Rocky Mountain golf teams, the Jacket men are tied up while the women trail.  Competition was completed today in “4 Ball” pairings, which two-person teams compete against a single opposing team.   

The Yellowjacket men began the day with a 3-1 victory from the pairing of Zach Abels and Mike Rider.  MSUB’s Michael Conrad and Jason Kinsey split in their match-up against Rocky’s Jarred Atkins and Todd Truscott.  Jacket senior Nathan Redfern and junior Tyler Nicholas edged their competition 2-1, while Travis Gates and Kruise Kemp fell 1-0.  Sophomore Jeff Allen and Brian Lytle dropped their meeting to Rocky as well, 2-1. The MSUB men are tied with Rocky at 2.5 each. 

Rocky’s women took each of three contests to take a big lead at the Peter Yegen Golf Course. Both the teams of Nicole Salsbery/Teri Rebo and Jessica Boyer/Emily Maag were defeated by Rocky teams, 5-4.  MSUB Freshmen Amy Nordeen and Brittney Hedge lost their match, 4-2.
