Hoosiers win Collegiate Classic

After completing the first two rounds of the 49ers Collegiate Classic on Monday, the fifth-ranked Hoosiers stood five strokes behind first place Xavier and tied for second with Furman. That deficit was erased during Tuesday's final round as the Hoosiers came back to take their second consecutive tournament victory.\nJunior Jeff Overton once again paced the Hoosiers by finishing in first place for the individuals. Overton, who is ranked No. 4 in the country, opened the tournament with a first round score of 64, a school record. He did not slow down in the second or third rounds as he shot scores of 67 and 68, respectively. Overton's 36-hole total of 131 set a personal record, which was set the previous week at the Hoosier Invitational. Overton's 54-hole score of 199 broke the school record, which he also set last week.\n"I played as well as I could and let the chips fall where they fell," Overton said in a statement. "The main thing is the team won. Our guys came back with a lot of confidence and showed a lot of heart today to win."\nAs a team, the Hoosiers shot a three round total of 842 (282-281-279) to beat second place Xavier by six strokes. This is the first time the Hoosiers have won consecutive tournaments since 1987 when they won the Badger Invitational and Hillman Robbins Memorial. Coach Mike Mayer was proud of his team's comeback win.\n"This was a huge win for us," coach Mike Mayer said in a statement. "It was a shaky start, but we proved to ourselves and everyone in the field that we are tough"
