     SANDUSKY, Ohio - The University of Rio Grande's bass fishing team produced a program first last month - a tournament victory.
     The duo of senior Cody Brumfield (Patriot, OH) and sophomore Alex McCarty (Bloomingburg, OH) captured first place in the Karl's Fishing & Outdoors event as part of the MCBC (Mid-Northern College Bass Coalition) Tournament Trail.
     The event was hosted by the Ohio State University Fishing Team.
     Brumfield and McCarty hauled in 10.33 lbs. worth of catch to take the top spot.
