IOWA CITY, Iowa - The University of Dubuque will still be in the lead as the 2014 Iowa Conference Men's Golf Championships transitions to Dubuque Golf & Country Club next weekend, but the Spartans saw their nine-stroke lead reduced to seven and a new challenger emerge Saturday at Finkbine Golf Course.
The Spartans posted a 306 team score Saturday and bring a 601 total into next weekend's final 36 holes. First-day leader Eric Wolfe matched his 70 from Friday, posting three birdies on the back nine - including a chip-in from the fringe on the 18th hole. Josh Schuberg (77), Troy Krueger (79) and Mitchell Sobotta (80) rounded out Dubuque's card, while Martin Odegard carded a non-counting 83 in the second round.
UD's Eric Wolfe (70-70-140) leads the medalist race by five strokes over Central's Desmond Stoll (76-69-145) and seven over Coe's Tyler Gunderson (74-73-147). Luther's Elliot Horst (76-73-149) sits fourth, one stroke clear of UD's Josh Schuberg (73-77-150), two up on Luther's Tobias Kohl (75-76-151) and three ahead of Wartburg's Ryan Shields (72-80-152). Simpson's Andy Hutchins (74-79-153) and Trent Lindenman (74-79-153) and Wartburg's Matt Kristensen (80-73-153) round out the Top-10.
