NEW BEDFORD, Mass. – In its final tuneup before the 2013 Commonwealth Coast Conference Championship, the Wentworth Institute of Technology golf team competed at the Hampton Inn Classic, which was played at the Allendale Country Club in North Dartmouth, Mass. The tournament's first round was canceled due to heavy rain that blanketed the area on Friday, making it an 18-hole event.
