CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Cleveland State men's golf team closes the regular season at the Earl Yestinsmeier Memorial Invitational on Friday and Saturday (April 14-15).

In addition to CSU and host Ball State, the field includes Butler, Dayton, Eastern Kentucky, Fort Wayne, IUPUI, Loyola (Ill.), Northern Kentucky, Taylor, Valparaiso and Wright State.

Luth ranks second in the League in scoring with a 72.4 scoring average and has 15 rounds of par or better this year. He has posted three top-five finishes this year, including a first place finish at the Wildcat Invitational in late March with a 36 hole total of three-under-par 139 en route to earning Horizon League Golfer of the Week honors.

Anton Krecic is second on the team with a 74.2 scoring average and is coming off a tie for sixth place a the Wildcat Invitational. He fired a final round two-under-par 69, earning his third top-10 finish of the season.
