Port Clinton, Ohio — Mount Aloysius surged up the leaderboard Tuesday, finishing fourth at the Region V Showcase after a strong second-round performance at the par-72 course.

The Mounties, who sat ninth after an opening-round 330, posted the lowest team score of the day with a 308 to close out the tournament and the fall season on a high note.

Sophomore Josh Nicholl (Ballymena, Northern Ireland, Cullybackey College) led the charge, finishing in a tie for first after rounds of 77 and 74 before falling in a playoff. Three Mounties — Zach Oakes (Roaring Spring, Pa., Central) (85–79), William Willis (Chesterfield, Va., Benedictine) (90–74) and Ethan Batstone (Swindon, England, South Gloucestershire and Stroud) (82–82) — finished in a tie for 34th, while Luke Sands (Stockholm, Sweden, Upplands-bro Gymnasium) (86–81) placed 42nd.
