Back in action on Tuesday at Glen Riddle, the Seahawks finished first again with a remarkable team-low 162. Bennett finished second with a 176. Decatur’s Malinowski was the medalist on the day with a one-under 35. Snelsire and Brady Leonard each shot 41. For Bennett, Scott led the way with a 41 while Trauger finished in 43.
