MEN'S GOLF
St. Ambrose golf team finished 16th in the 33rd annual
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
Tournament at Saginaw, Mich., last June, marking the
Bees' highest finish since 1977.
Coach Jeff Griebel, who was named District 15 NAIA
Golf Coach of the Year last fall, said the Bees were the
first team from the district to "make the final cut in several years."
The Bees had qualified for the national in Saginaw by

A week earlier, the team finished first in the Mississippi
Valley Small College Classic in Dubuque, Iowa.
The Bees had finished second to Iowa State University

second to Western Illinois in the Quincy (III.) Invitational, second to Western again in the St. Ambrose Invitational, and fifth in the Central College Invitational at
Pella, Iowa, where top honors went to Northern Iowa,
Cedar Falls.
The Bees also won seven and lost one in dual meets.
The wins were over Loras and Augustana and the loss to
Central.
The Bees were led in 1983-84 by the Cisler brothers,
Mike and Tim, from Seymour, Wis. Mike, a senior, was a
team captain and Tim was a sophomore. Others were
Jim Mowen, senior from Rock Island, III.; Bruce Sandry,
a junior from Davenport, and Chris Vens, a senior from
