Stamey's Top 10 finish leads Spartans at Wolf Run

ZIONSVILLE, Ind. – Senior Nathan Stamey recorded his eighth career Top 10 finish with a 72 on Sunday to finish at three-over 216 and help UNC Greensboro to a 14th place finish at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate hosted by the University of Indiana.

Stamey finished in a four-way tie for seventh and was six shots behind individual champion Nick Plumford from Michigan.

UNCG sophomore Drew Younts had his second straight strong round to finish tied for 35th place. Younts shot a 72 on Sunday to finish at 224 for the tournament.
