Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Rutgers University-Camden golf team senior co-captains Zach Arsenault and Kevin Sarlo completed a record-setting week as they led the Scarlet Raptors to wins at both the F&M Fall Invitational Oct. 17 and the Eastern Invitational Oct. 19. Rutgers-Camden recorded a team-record 283 to win the 17-team F&M Invitational and then tied its new mark with a 283 to capture the seven-team Eastern Invitational. Sarlo paced the Raptors at the Franklin & Marshall College event by setting a new program record with a round of 67, a 4-under par score at the Bent Creek Country Club. He tied for the best round, but finished second on a tie-breaker (best score on the back nine). Arsenault, meanwhile, carded a 70 that day to tie for fourth place. Two days later, the scores were reversed as Arsenault tied the new program record with a 67, a 3-under par round at the St. Davids Golf Club. He earned medalist honors, while Sarlo finished second with a 70. The two rounds of 67 were two strokes better than the previous Rutgers-Camden program record, which was shared by four players, most recently accomplished by Sarlo at the second round of the ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Regional on Oct. 2. Arsenault and Sarlo have led their team to a 61-4 record and wins in three straight invitationals entering Monday’s final event of the semester, the RU-Camden Scarlet Raptor Fall Golf Invitational. Arsenault enters the day with a 72.0 fall average, while Sarlo is at 72.6. Both players were North Eastern Athletic Conference First Team performers last spring when they led Rutgers-Camden to its fourth straight NEAC title and NCAA Division III championship berth. Sarlo, meanwhile, was named Rutgers-Camden’s Male Athlete of the Year for the 2015-16 scholastic year.
