TROPHY CLUB, Texas – The Hutchinson Community College men's golf team won its second tournament of the 2020-21 season on Tuesday, narrowly edging NCAA Division I Cameron University by one stroke to win the Texas A&M-Commerce Lion Invitational title.

NJCAA No. 2-ranked Hutchinson shot a 1-under 287 in the rain-shorted 36-hole tournament with a score of 576. Cameron, Oklahoma Christian and Midwestern State all tied for second just one stroke behind the Blue Dragons.

The Blue Dragons also won the NJCAA National Preview at The Rawls Course in Lubbock, Texas, in October. The Blue Dragons now have five Top 5 team finishes in as many tournaments in the fall and spring seasons.
