MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle men's golf team closed out the regular season with a 10th-place finish (291-291-305=887) at the Battle at the Shores. All 16 teams played three rounds at the 6,733-yard, par-71 Normandy Shores Golf Club.
 
Par-5s were the Eagles' best friend as all five members of the Blue and Gold were under par on such holes for a team total of -9. Additionally, Embry-Riddle tallied 39 birdies, fifth-most in the tournament.
 
Ian Aldarondo (66-72-77=215) had a one-stroke lead after the first day of competition, partly thank to his personal-best opening-round shot total of 66, which was just the fourth time in program history an Eagle shot below a 67. Overall, he finished tied for seventh for his third top-10 result of the year.
 
The senior was the only player in the 90-golfer field to be in the red on par-4 holes (-1). In total, Aldarondo accumulated 12 birdies, tied for the most in the competition.
 
Pablo Robles (73-71-77=221) was right behind Aldarondo with 11 holes under par, tied for the fourth most in the tournament. He followed up a team-best second-round score of 71 with a 77 on Tuesday to finish second on the squad and tied for 29th in the field, a season-best result.
 
John Triplett (78-72-74=224) led the Blue and Gold in the third round with a 74, his lowest final-round score of the season. He notched birdies on the last holes on both the front and back nine.
 
Georgios Pachiadakis (75-77-77=229) barely edged Michael Faringer (77-76-77=230) for fourth on the squad.
 
No. 1-ranked Barry (286-280-279=845) blew away the field, winning by 14 shots over Nova Southeastern (290-281-288=859). Lynn (294-281-296=871) grabbed third while Tampa (285-294-294=873) and Eastern Florida State (292-281-301=874) picked up top-5 placements.
 
The Buccaneers claimed the top-3 overall individual golfers. A.J. Ewart (72-68-68=208) won in stunning fashion with an eagle on the 18^th hole to claim victory by a single stroke.
