When We Saw Them Last…
The last outing for the Tigers was a highly successful one as Towson closed out the fall portion of the schedule with its first team tournament win since the 2015 season. The Tigers stormed back in the third and fourth rounds of the Towson Fall Invitational at Prospect Bay Country Club in late October.

The Invitational win was the first under fifth-year head coach Mike Larkin, who saw his team fire a 287 in the third round for a 54 hole total 868. The Tigers edged Howard University by one stroke as the Bison shot a 288 in the final round for an 869 total. Defending champion Robert Morris finished third at 873, fading in the final round with a 299.

Jeremy Summerson finished third overall with a 214, dropping a 64 (-8) in the second round.
