At the beginning of the season, progress comes in baby steps, and Penn men’s golf coach Scott Allen understands that. Despite the early-season learning curve, the Quakers were still disappointed this weekend after finishing in last place at the 15-team, two-day Maryland Intercollegiate Tournament at Cambridge, Md. “It was a two-day tournament and [Saturday] was kind of whacky,” Allen said of the weather and resulting course of events. “This is the strongest tournament and field that we will play in all year.” North Carolina finished at the top of the heap with a score of 849, which was three under par. Virginia Commonwealth and North Carolina State rounded out the top three. “Several of the teams had played in the NCAA finals last year, top-25 and top-30 seeds, so it was a good test for us,” Allen said. The Quakers traveled to Maryland with a five-man rotation and an individual player, freshman Colin St. Maxens. The five-man rotation was led by Penn’s top-seed, sophomore Dillon Hakes, junior Kevin Huntington and senior Chance Pipitone. Hakes, who shot a 71 in the first round, and Pipitone, who shot a 74, were both unable to close the gap on their competitors. Allen, although not pleased with the team’s final result, noticed some bright spots — especially in the play of St. Maxens in his first college tournament. “Colin had a great summer and obviously as a recruited student-athlete at Penn we are expecting him to be a strong player,” Allen said. “I know he was a little nervous going out there his first couple of holes yesterday, but as the tournament went on you could see that he became more comfortable with college golf.” Though St. Maxens hails from Washington, D.C., Cambridge is on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, so the 2008 Mid-Atlantic Conference medalist didn’t play too close to home. According to Allen, the team had “a real good talk” in the van ride back to campus and he does not believe that the outcome will hinder the team’s morale or future success. “I told them this obviously wasn’t a result that we were happy with or that we should be happy with,” Allen said. “The guys understood that. I don’t think that anybody was under the illusion that this was an acceptable performance.”
