EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – After finishing the second round strong with a team score of 295 on Tuesday morning, the Loyola University Maryland golf team slipped two spots in the standings during the final 18 holes to finish in a tie for eighth at the 2021 Hamptons Intercollegiate at Maidstone Club.

Virginia, Georgia Tech and Northwestern shared the team title at the event that Loyola hosted for the second time at the Long Island club.
 
Brandon Berry led the Greyhounds with a three-round total of 4-over 220 to finish in a tie for 21^st place. He was at 1-over for his final round, and the tournament, through 15 holes on Tuesday afternoon, but a triple-bogey eight on the 16^th hole slid him back in the field.

Matt Malits had his best collegiate finish since the 2020-2021 opener, posting three-straight rounds of 2-over 74 to finish in a tie for 28^th. He was 2-over on the front nine of the course Tuesday before finishing with nine-straight pars to close the tournament.
