Gansauer Wins Great Lakes Regional For Men’s Golf
         EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. - Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men’s golfer Kyle Gansauer (Centralia) won the Great Lakes Regional Tournament over the weekend.
         The Cougars finished sixth out of 20 teams, placing ahead of eight other Great Lakes Valley Conference teams. SIUE had a two day total of 593, 12 strokes behind regional champion Saginaw Valley.
         “We went into the regional as an unknown,” said SIUE men’s golf coach Mark Marcuzzo. “We left the regional very well known.”
         Gansauer shot a 71 on Sunday, following that up with a round of 69 on Monday.
         “It was a great accomplishment,” said Marcuzzo. “Our chance to get in the NCAAs and win conference in the spring is looking pretty good.”
         Kyle Lickenbrock (Freeburg) placed 11th with a two-day total of 145.
         Craig Heinzman (Breese) came in 44th after shooting a 152.
         “They have stepped up their game and really played well,” said Marcuzzo.
         The Cougars will be in Mankato, Minn., next week for the Minnesota State-Mankato Tournament.
