Simon Fraser’s Chris Crisologo shot a tournament record 63 in the third and final round of the Saint Martin’s University Men’s Golf Invitational Tournament in Olympia, Wash. last weekend and led his team to a second-place finish overall.
Crisologo, a second-year athlete from Richmond, fired an 8-under-par 63 on the par-71 Olympia Golf & Country Club course. He was one stroke over the course record of 62 and shot the lowest tournament score ever recorded by an SFU team member in a collegiate event.
Crisologo took medalist honors by six strokes, firing an 8-under 63 to finish at 7-under 206 for the tournament after rounds of 73, 70 and 63.
SFU shot a final-round 287 for a 54-hole score of 862 to finish second overall in the 16-team tournament.
Speed boosts showing

Homecoming loss
Simon Fraser University’s football team suffered a heart-breaking 16-10 loss to two-time defending Great Northwest Athletic Conference champion Azusa Pacific, spoiling the Clan’s homecoming game Saturday at Swangard Stadium.
APU opened scoring less than three minutes into the game on an 84-yard touchdown run.
They added a field goal in the first quarter for a 10-0 lead before SFU quarterback Ryan Stanford marched the Clan 65 yards on 12 plays, throwing a five-yard strike to Sam Nadon for the Clan’s only touchdown.
Tiernan Docherty added a 20-yard field goal late in the first half, but Azusa answered back with 12:11 in the fourth quarter on a 69-yard scoring drive ending in a 12-yard touchdown pass.
Simon Fraser finished with 284 yards of offence compared to Azusa’s 428.
Stanford was 21 of 32 for 248 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Running back John Hayden rushed for 47 yards on 15 carries and caught six passes for 65 yards, while Jason Buren caught three passes for 77 yards, including one 44-yard catch – Stanford’s longest throw of the night.
