KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island opens its Spring season Monday when it competes at the two-day, three-round Surf Club Invitational. Hosted by Appalachian State, the tournament will be played on Surf and Beach Club course in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Also in the field are Bucknell, Butler, Central Michigan, Delaware, LeMoyne, LIU, Maryland-Eastern Shore, North Carolina A&T, North Carolina Central, Presbyterian, Queens and Radford.
