SAVANNAH, Ga. — The University of South Carolina Beaufort men's golf team dropped a narrow decision to rival SCAD Savannah in a dual match Friday at the Club at Savannah Harbor, carding a team score of 300 but falling by five shots against the Bees. 

The Sand Sharks' best score unfortunately didn't count toward their team total, as freshman Bradford Curren posted a 1-under-par 71 playing as an individual to earn medalist honors.

Travis Cashion and Briany Langley led USCB's scoring players with matching 73s, followed by Cory Cottrell (75), Andrew McCullough (79) and Alex Mihai (80). Other individuals competing for USCB were Chris Finke (75), Owen Bell (77), Ryan Clancy (78) and Tyler Jacobs (79). 

Billy Nisbet and Julian Dinsing each shot 72 to lead the Bees, followed by Dylan O'Leary (75), Taylor Sargeant (76) and Tom Mather (83). Neale Barnes (74), Andres Escobar (77) and Rasa Lazarevic (80) competed as individuals for SCAD. 

The teams will complete the home-and-home series with a dual match at Oldfield Golf Club on March 1.
