The Spartans pulled ahead late in the match and held a slim lead with the final foursome on the course, but Feehan was able to pull off the win at the last minute at Tedesco Country Club.
“It was the same story for us as it’s been all season so far, we got a lot of great contributions at the top of the lineup but not much from the bottom half,” said Spartans coach Jay Fiste.
