Lambeth leads Huntingdon to win in Wynlakes Intercollegiate

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Senior Addison Lambeth and the top-ranked Huntingdon men's golf team closed out the Wynlakes Intercollegiate on Tuesday with their first wins of the spring.

This was Lambeth's first win in the Wynlakes Intercollegiate and the second straight win in the tournament for the Hawks. Huntingdon has won four tournaments since the start of the fall season.
