RALEIGH – Led by very strong performances from senior Jacob McBride and freshman Benjamin Shipp, the NC State men's golf team took third place at the 2016 Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate. The Wolfpack recorded the only round below par on Tuesday, and finished the tournament with a three-round total of 849 strokes (-3).
McBride tied for second in the field of 90 golfers while Shipp—in just the second college tournament of his career—tied for fifth. McBride's runner-up honors marked the eighth time in his career he has finished within the top 10 of a tournament field.
As a part of NC State's strong final day, sophomore Davis Richards recorded the best round of his college career (66). The China Grove, N.C., native recorded seven birdies his third time through Lonnie Poole Golf Course.
East Carolina claimed both the team and individual titles at the Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate. The Pirates shot a three-round score of 837 (-15) and were led by medalist Timothy Conover (201, -12).

QUOTES FROM THE WOLFPACK
Freshman Benjamin Shipp: "The big thing for me is confidence. I've always thought that the only thing which will hold me back is myself. If I keep my confidence level high and keep working hard, I don't think there is a limit. I need to keep working hard, keep my attitude level, and focus on every shot, which should lead to success."
Head Coach Richard Sykes: "A lot was expected of him (Benjamin Shipp), and he is going to live up to it. He is a very good player."
UP NEXT
The Wolfpack travels out west to compete at the Alister Mackenzie Invitational in Fairfax, Calif., from Oct. 10-11.
