SOUTH BEND, Ind. (4/15/2017) -- Freshman Scott Sparks led four Titans in the top 10 as the University of Detroit Mercy men's golf team wrapped up its regular season with a second-place finish at Notre Dame on Saturday.

The Titans posted a 597 (297-300) placing ahead of Canisius (626) and behind host Notre Dame (577) in the Battle of the Warren, held on the Par 70, 6,713-yard Warren Golf Course. 

"It was a decent day in very windy conditions," said head coach Luke LaFave '02. "I feel very good about our form heading into the Horizon League Championship."

Sparks tallied a pair of 3-over 73's to tie for fourth with a season-low 146. 

Senior Kyle Gaines had the best round of the day with a 2-over 72 on the opening 18 and shared seventh with a 148 (72-76). Junior Eric Macrow tied his teammate in that position with a pair of 74's. 

"Scott and Eric played very solid again and other than a few bad breaks late in round two, Kyle played nicely too," added coach LaFave. 

Playing as an individual, senior David Thompson posted a pair of 75's and tied for 10th with a 150, while senior Spencer Lendzion (78-78) and freshman Zack Tenerowicz (79-77) tied for 17th with a 156. 

Detroit Mercy will now get ready for the Horizon League Championship, set for April 23-25 at the Mission Inn Resort in Howey-In-The-Hills, Florida.
