Taraschi paces Raptors
to RU-Camden title
WOODSTOWN (Oct. 29, 2007) – Rutgers University-Camden sophomore Dave Taraschi (Haddonfield, NJ/Haddonfield Memorial) shot a 78 to lead the Raptors’ golf team to the title of the RU-Camden Scarlet Raptors Fall Invitational here Monday.
The event, rescheduled from a rainout Oct. 24, was held at the Par 72, 6,496-yard Town & Country Golf Links.
Taraschi, returning from an injury which caused him to miss practically the entire fall season, tied Eastern University’s Drew Krupp with a 78, but lost second place on a match of cards. Richard Stockton’s Lee Colannani shot a 75 to earn individual medalist honors.
Rutgers-Camden won the team title with a 339, followed by Eastern (359) and Philadelphia Biblical University (373). Richard Stockton College and Swarthmore College both fielded incomplete teams.
Taraschi’s score was the top round of the fall for the Scarlet Raptors. It also was his first outing since shooting a season-opening 84 on Sept. 8 at the Wesley College Fall Invitational.
In addition to Taraschi, the Raptors received an 86 from sophomore Reggie Richter (Erial, NJ/Timber Creek), while freshman Kyle Storako (Laurel Springs, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) shot a round of 87. Senior James Spera (Cinnaminson, NJ/Cinnaminson) recorded an 88 and senior Michael Affannato (Turnersville, NJ/St. Augustine Prep) shot a 99 to round out the Raptor team. Rutgers-Camden senior Justin Melendez (Williamstown, NJ/Williamstown), competing as an individual, finished with a 124.
The Scarlet Raptors Invitational was the final event of the fall for the injury-riddled Raptors, who posted a 13-43 record on the season. Taraschi's average of 81.0 in two invitationals was the top average on the team.
