NARRAGANSETT, R.I. - The Providence College golf team finished eighth of 16 teams at the 1998 New England Division I Championships held at the par-72, 6,874-yard Point Judith Country Club in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The Friars shot a one-day total of 325, which was 18 strokes behind the first place University of Rhode Island Rams who shot a 307 for the day.
