Tuscola, Ill. (October 12, 2004) Keith Nelson carded a three-round score of 225 (70-75-80) to finish tied for sixth overall as Loyola University Chicago placed eighth at the nine-team Ironhorse Intercollegiate, which concluded today.

Nelsons opening-round, two-under-par 70 was his best score of the fall. Frank Linquist was the only other Rambler to place in the top 25, tying for 25th with a 233 (76-80-77). Freshman Craig Cornwall, making his first appearance of the year but not in the lineup, also tied for 25th (73-83-77).
