Solis and Steffen Lead IHCC to Team Title

Urbana, IL -- Indian Hills won its third team title in five meets this spring as the Warriors took the CarX Parkland Invitational at the Stone Creek Golf Course on Monday.

IHCC's Matt Solis and Zach Steffen went one-two atop the leaderboard to lead the Warriors to a four-shot victory over John A. Logan CC. Rend Lake CC was another eight strokes back in third place.

The Warriors opened with a team score of 297 on Sunday and bettered that total with a 290 over the second 18 holes.

Solis' opening-round, three-under par 69 was the best round of the tourney. He followed with another sub-par round of 71 for a four-shot win over his teammate, Steffen, who had rounds of 74 and 70.

Jon Paul Blampied and Dan Dawson gave Indian Hills four of the top five finishers, Blampied winding up in a tie for 3rd and Dawson in a tie for fifth place.

The meet was the final tuneup for Indian Hills before the postseason. The Warriors will play in the NJCAA District III Championship in Lawrence, Kansas May 2-3.
