PEORIA, Ill. -- For the first time this season a pair of Bradley Men's Golfers placed in the top 20 as senior Alex Ciaramitaro and freshman Josh Kirkham helped pace the Braves to a fourth-place finish in the nine-team field at the 14th annual Grover Page Classic.

Coming off his first career top-10 finish, Ciaramitaro tied for 12th to lead Bradley, while Kirkham tied for 17th overall to place in the top-20 for the first time as a Brave.

Bradley tied for the third-best final round score with the Braves posting a 304 on the last day to move from fifth into fourth in the final team standings at 906. The 54-hole score of 906 matched the team's best effort of the year to date, which was turned in Sept. 23 & 24 at the Derek Dolenc Invitational in Madison, Ill.

Tournament-host UT-Martin claimed the team title by an impressive 23 shots at 13-over 877. Indian Hills was second at 900, with Green Bay (3rd - 901) and Bradley (4th - 906) close behind. The Braves were eight shots better than fifth-place finisher Arkansas-Pine Bluff (914) in the nine-team field.

Ciaramitaro shot a three-over 75 during Tuesday's action at the par-72 Jackson Country Club, with his three-round 223 two shots out of the top 10 as he was Bradley's top individual finisher for the sixth consecutive tournament.

Kirkham capped off his best 54-hole tournament as a Brave with a final round 78 to finish two back of Ciaramitaro at 225 and earn his first career top-20 finish (T17th).

Junior Jalen Hodges matched his low round of the season with a third-round 72, finishing two shots out of the top 20 in 22nd place at 228. Freshman John Stillman posted his lowest 54-hole total of the season (230) to tie for 26th in the field, closing out the tournament with a 79.

Making his Bradley debut, freshman Brady Kreiter rounded out the BU lineup in a tie for 51st, shooting a third-round 86 to finish at 252. Fellow freshman Nick Armbrust was in the field as an individual, placing 53rd at 257 after a final-round 85.

The Braves return to action March 23 & 24 at the Twin Oaks Intercollegiate in Springfield, Mo.
