WALLA WALLA, Wash. – The Pacific Lutheran University men's golf team surged up the team standings on Monday, closing out the fall season with a fourth-place finish at the Confluence Classic. 
 
"Day one was a very solid performance at Veteran's Memorial. Josh led the way for us and we took advantage of the par 5's and shorter par 4's," said Head Coach Tyler Copp.
 
"Day two was by far our best performance of the fall season. Not only did we post our low round of the season, but we did it under very tough weather conditions. Our guys made no excuses and put on a show."
 
The Lutes sat sixth overall after round one on Sunday, shooting a 303 before shaving off five strokes during Monday's final round.
