         WOOD RIVER, ILL. - Southern Illinois University Edwardsville won its own Cougar Classic by one stroke on Monday.
         Craig Heinzmann (Breese) tied for first place with a two-under-par 142 but lost in a playoff to Missouri Baptist's Erik Rios.
         As a team, SIUE won the event with a score of 593, besting Missouri Baptist by one stroke. Lindenwood was third with a 607. There were nine teams in the field.
         "There were some good teams out there today," said SIUE Coach Mark Marcuzzo.
         The all-tournament team includes SIUE's Kyle Lickenbrock (Freeburg), Ryan Howell of Missouri Baptist, Danny Manselle of Missouri Baptist, Nick Profancik of Maryville, and Nicolas Poleito of Lindenwood.
