The Course:
Prospect Bay Country Club, long known for excellent greens, has two distinct nines. The front is open and more affected by breezes off Eastern Bay. It is highlighted by the 4th hole, a 556 yard par five, which features a large two-tiered green and the 6th, a 400 yard par four, sporting out-of-bounds right and water on the left. The back nine is tree-lined, winding along the perimeter of Talisman Farm. The course is known for its strong finishing holes, considered by some to be as good as anything on the Eastern Shore. The 17th, a 428 yard par four, plays into the prevailing wind and demands an accurate tee shot in order to have a chance at par. It's followed up by our signature hole, the 590 yard par five 18th. The large, almost "island" green, is well-protected by four bunkers and water front and right. A par on the 18th is always a great way to finish the round.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Towson, the large field included 20 other schools: Bethune-Cookman, Bryant, Columbia, Cornell, Elon, Fairfield, Fairleigh Dickinson, Indiana (Pa.), Lafayette, La Salle, Long Island University, Penn, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart, Saint Anselm, Stevenson, Trinity College, Maryland Eastern Shore and William & Mary.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to the links on Saturday, April 8 for the first of two rounds of golf at the Princeton Invitational.
