After finishing the round in a tie, the Baldwin Wallace freshman birdied the playoff hole to win his first invitational with a one-under-par 71 at the Joe Campoli Memorial Invitational in Harrod, Ohio.
Asta is an Indian River native and attended St. Peter’s Secondary School.
The Trent Excalibur men’s soccer team kicked off their season over the weekend, shutting out Nipissing 1-0 on Saturday before dropping a 5-2 decision to Toronto Metropolitan the following day. They’re back in action Saturday when they host Ontario Tech.
