Norwich 200, Seton Catholic Central 202

PLYMOUTH – Norwich matched its season-low score on the home layout at Canasawacta Country Club, and it needed that kind of effort Wednesday against Seton Catholic Central in winning its fifth straight match.

“They’re the division leaders in the STAC East division, so this is a big win for us,” said Norwich coach Bob Branham. “They are probably the strongest team one through six, but playing at home is obviously an advantage.”

Eric Walling had birdies on the first and fifth holes to lead the Tornado with a 37. Jacob Kelly and Frank Somich carded 39s, Ryan Hagen fired a 42 over the C.C.C. old nine, and Corey Johnson turned in a 43.
