Deery, a sophomore, tied for sixth individually in a 109-golfer field at the UW-Eau Claire Fall Invite after firing rounds of 77-85. Deery led Wartburg to a top-four team finish (fourth – 668) among a strong regional and national field that included three teams that placed in the top-10 at the 2007 NCAA Championships (Gustavus Adolphus – 3rd, St. Thomas – 5th, St. Thomas – 7th). Deery, who was the highest placing IIAC golfer at the meet, fired the only sub-80 score of any league golfer in the field.
