ST. AUGUSTINE, FL. – University of Southern Indiana Men's Golf will open their season on Monday in St. Augustine, Florida. The Screaming Eagles will be competing in the World Golf Village Collegiate at King & Bear Golf Course, hosted by Eastern Kentucky. The invite will take place on Monday and Tuesday with a par 72 for both days. The courses stretches 6,979 yards on Monday and 7,074 yards on Tuesday. 
 
19 teams from around the country will be competing including: Eastern Kentucky University, Austin Peay State University, Bellarmine University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Florida A&M University, Jacksonville State University, Lindenwood University, Morehead State University, University of Notre Dame, North Carolina A&T State University, Oakland University, Purdue University Fort Wayne, University of South Dakota, Stetson University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Youngstown State University, and USI. The men will play 36 holes on Monday and 18 on Tuesday. 
 
USI is excited to start the season coming off an impressive fall season. The men broke multiple school records in the fall including junior Jason Bannister (Laguna Nigel, California) tying a school record score of 65 at the Derek Dolenc Invitational. The Eagles also broke an 18-hole score record of 272 on their way to winning The Buddy at Murray State University. Senior Jace Day (Bloomington, Indiana) set the 54-hole individual record at Murray State with a score of 206 (70-66-70).
 
The squad includes nine returnees, three junior college transfers, and one freshman. This team is extremely deep and looking to take even bigger steps after last season's third place finish at the Ohio Valley Conference Championships. The tough schedule will also prepare the Eagles for the high pressured OVC event at the end of the season.
