INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (MadonnaCrusaders.com) - - In a field littered with Top-25 teams and those receiving votes, the Madonna University men's golf team sits in ninth place after round one on Monday (April 12) at the NAIA Classic at the Brickyard hosted by Indiana Wesleyan University on the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course.

The field of 15 has 13 teams in it that are in the latest NAIA Top-25 or earning votes including No. 3-ranked Malone, No. 9-ranked Lee, No. 11 Grandview, No. 14 and tournament leader Johnson and Wales, No. 16 University of the Cumberlands, No. 24-ranked Lindenwood and No. 25-ranked Shorter. The event is designed as a possible preview of the upcoming NAIA National Championships - for which MU earned a bid via its 2009 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Championship.

The Crusaders posted a team score of 303 and sit 10 shots back from first place. MU is in front of both Cumberlands (12th) and Lindenwood (14th) as well as WHAC rivals Cornerstone and Davenport along with Lindsey Wilson.

Junior Jimmy Uelmen (Ferndale, Mich./Dondero/Oakland CC) leads the Crusaders and is tied for seventh after carding a one-over round of 73. Classmate Brett Quitiquit (Highland, Mich./Milford/Oakland) is tied for 14th with a two-over 74.
