"Winning the match at Northern Tioga's home course is an awesome feeling," said head coach Steve Macensky said. "It was another close match down to the last guy and the last stroke. Ben had another solid day and Joseph played really well to shoot 79. I'm extremely proud of this team and how they pick each other up match after match. This win will helps us get closer to securing the NTL title with 3 matches to go."
