Lee, Slattery First Team as Raptors place fourth at United East Championships
HARRISBURG, Penn. (April 25, 2026) – The Rutgers University-Camden golf team shot the best round of the day on a miserable day here Saturday during the final round of the United East Championships. Unfortunately for the Scarlet Raptors, a big setback during Friday's first round proved costly as the Scarlet Raptors finished fourth in the eight-team conference meet.
Rutgers-Camden, which originally had shot a 307 during Friday's round, had an incorrect scorecard entry that nullified its lowest score, leading to a team total of 319. And despite shooting a round of 309 in the rain and cold on Saturday – eight strokes better than the next team – the Scarlet Raptors couldn't make up the lost ground. They finished with a two-day total of 319-309—628, 16 strokes behind eventual champion Penn College (293-319—612). Had the Raptors not lost 12 strokes on Friday, they would have tied for second place with Penn State-Harrisburg, (297-319—616).
