STATESBORO – Jake Maples fired a 4-under-par 68, the lowest round of the tournament, to win the GS Individual Collegiate at Georgia Southern University Course Monday.

After finishing second at the event last season, Maples (-6) topped Andrew Orischak of Virginia (-5) by a stroke. It was Maples' first career win and fourth top-10 finish.

Fellow Eagle Colin Bowles (-1) shot a 72 to tie for fifth, while Wilson Andress and Mason Williams (+5) finished tied for 16th.

The course played tough throughout the event with an average score of 76.55, and only two holes played under par today. Just six golfers were under par for the tournament.

Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"This was a great week for the team and gaining experience as we prepare further for the spring season. We are all very proud of Jake in earning his first college win and doing it by shooting the low round of the day was a great way to earn the victory. We look forward to seeing what's next for him. Congratulations also to Colin Bowles on finishing fifth and earning a spot on the all-tournament team - very consistent and solid play from Colin as well. It was a great week for the Eagles; can't wait to get started with the next one."
