DAYTON (April 26, 2005) – The Loyola University Chicago men’s golf team tuned up for next week’s Horizon League Championships by placing 10th at the Dayton Invitational which concluded today at the Golf Course at Yankee Trace. Led by Aaron Harter’s 54-hole total of 238 (77-82-79), the Ramblers finished with a team score of 975, while UW-Green Bay captured the crown with an 899.

Senior Keith Nelson tied for 29th with a 240 (78-88-74), saving his best for last with a two-over 74 this afternoon.
