EASTON, Pa. - Led by senior Josh Anderson, the St. Bonaventure golf team finished third out of a field of 20 teams at the Lafayette College Spring Invitational, which was contested on Sunday at Center Valley Golf Club.

Anderson shot an even par 72 to finish in second place in the field of 102 players. Duquesne's Drew Ellis won the medalist crown with a one-under par 71.

Sophomore Ryan Swanson finished at four-over par 76 for the Bonnies. Freshman Brennan Payne shot 78, sophomore Andy Whalen carded a 79, and junior Ben Howe shot 82.
