MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla.
- Georgia Southern shot a school record 21-under-par 263 as a team Tuesday to win stroke play at the Sun Belt Men's Golf Championship at Raven Golf Club, and Steven Fisk won individual medalist honors for the second time in his career.

The Eagles earn the top seed for match play and will face ULM in the semifinals Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. CT. GS (-31) topped Coastal Carolina (-27) by four strokes, and Arkansas State (-16) finished third. UTA (-15) and ULM tied for fourth and had to go back to No. 18 for the final match-play spot, which ULM won on the first playoff hole.

Coastal Carolina's third round total of 267 (-17) was a program record low. The second-place overall finish gives the Chanticleers the No. 2 seed for match play.

UTA posted a 10-under 274 total in the final round to finish tied for fourth – nine shots better than its previous low Sun Belt Championship round – and tied for the 4th-best in program history.

The top four teams after 54-holes of stroke play advanced to match play semifinals.

Fisk topped Arkansas State's Luka Naglic in a one-hole playoff to win individual medalist honors. It was the senior's ninth career win, breaking the Georgia Southern record, formerly held by Jodie Mudd.

Fisk, who won the Sun Belt Championship in a playoff in 2017, is the first two-time conference champion in Georgia Southern history and the second player to win the Sun Belt title twice, joining David Faught of Arkansas State, who won it in 1994 and 1997.

Twenty-six total players finished the stroke play tournament at par or better with four individuals posting scores at 10-under or better.

Georgia Southern and ULM will tee off beginning at 7:30 a.m. CT on the No. 1 tee while Coastal Carolina and Arkansas State will tee off beginning at 7:30 a.m. CT on the No. 10 tee.
