Freshman Matt Sims took home medalist honors, firing a 3-over-par 74 to win by two strokes at Wednesday's Charger Classic triangular, hosted by Southwest Wisconsin Tech.
 
Sims' 74 helped the Chaparrals to a runner-up position to Madison, which won with a 312 total. COD fired a collective 318 and Southwest Wisconsin 325 on the par-71, 6,770-yard TPC Wisconsin in Madison.
 
Sims was the only Chap to break 80. Sonni Lomeli fired an 80, followed by Luke Pringle and Frank Barges, who each shot 82. Patrick Malm's 84 closed the scoring for the Chaps.
 
COD continues play Oct. 1 at Joliet's Clash at the Creek, played at Nettle Creek CC.
 
"We were challenged today by playing on a demanding course, especially off the tee,'' head coach Jason Hyatt said. "I thought we finished strong. It was a good test.  Even though our scoring wasn't where we like it, we kept after it.  Matt was impressive. He hit the ball great and finished strong to secure the win.  Sonni also finished strong, going 2-under his last three holes. We have depth. It's just getting everyone to play well at the same time.''
