Improving to 3-0, Akron downed Albion 214-257 in a Niagara-Orleans League golf match this afternoon at Hickory Ridge.

Cam Wild took medalist honors with a 37 for Akron as Brodie Hill added a 41, Aiden Romesser a 42 and Thunder Hallett a 43.

Oliver Beach shot 46 and Owen Spencer and Viktor Snyder both had rounds of 49 for Albion in what was the Purple Eagles season opening match.

In the other N-O matches Barker downed Newfane and Roy-Hart bested Wilson both by forfeit wins as neither the Panthers or Lakemen had enough players to score as a team.

Nate Popovich led Barker with a 47 while Newfane’s Caleb Rivera took medalist honors with a 42.

Isaac Smith and Blake Snell both shot 45 and Evan Poeller 49 for Roy-Hart while Wilson’s Ben Meyers earned medalist honors with a 44.
