Falcon stat of the week, by the numbers

STAT OF THE WEEK (72) – Concordia University Wisconsin freshman golfer Nina Puch shot an even-par 72 during the third round of the NCAA Division III Championships. Her 72 was the best of the third day and also tied for the lowest round of the tournament. The only other player to card a 72 in the field was eventual champion Laura Lindsey of the University of Texas at Tyler, who accomplished the feat in each of her first two rounds. Puch (Des Plaines, Ill.) finished tied for 62nd in the individual standings.

3 – Men's Tennis competed in the NCAA Tournament this season for the third straight year. CUW fell to Ohio Northern University, 5-0, in their opening round match.

4:01.57 – Men's Track & Field wrapped up its 2013 season Friday as junior Martin Hinze (Bourbonnais, Ill.) and freshman Tyler White (Milwaukee, Wis.) competed at the Gregory Final Qualifier.
