TAHLEQUAH -- Northeastern State men's golf opens its fall season on Tuesday in Warrensburg, Missouri, for The Mule, hosted by Central Missouri.  

The RiverHawks will be part of a 20-team field on the par-70 Mules National Golf Course for an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.  NSU will be paired with Upper Iowa, Rockhurst, and Central Missouri (B) Team, starting from the eighth pin.  Will Livermore (1), Ian Wilcoxen (2), David Albuja (3), Braden Prestwood (4), and Bliss Newton (5) will be representing NSU in the field. 

In last year's event, the RiverHawks were tied for eighth place overall, with Livermore taking a 19th-place finish.  Northeastern State will start the season with a chip on their shoulder, with the MIAA coaches voting them second-to-last (9th) in the preseason poll.

The Mule is slated to be a three-round tournament, with the second round on Monday afternoon and the tournament concluding on Tuesday.
