Colby Morse carded a 47 and Hayden Emery shot a 49 for Harrisburg.

Harrisburg head coach Jake Dixon said his boys are starting to turn in some consistent rounds that is equaling wins on the links

"We know when we go out there we're going to get three strong scores that will compete with anyone we'll play," Dixon said. "Andrew, Grant, and Krayton are giving us consistent 38/40's. Here lately we've had other guys step up and contribute scores that are right there with those guys. Evan McDermott has come into his own and turned in some really good scores, including a 39 last week in a quad match and Colby Morse has found consistency and helped us by finishing in the 40/42 range."
