NORMAN --- California Baptist University's men's golf team landed three players on the 2019-20 Early Wave Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar Team, as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) on Wednesday.
It was a record-setting year for the award as 614 student-athletes earned the title of All-America Scholar, the most since the award's inception in 1982. Of the 614 honorees, 376 players were at the NCAA Division I level. Last season, the record was set at 540 student-athletes.
Ryan Monsalve, John Hayes, and Dan Heron were all recipients – setting a new CBU record for most players named in a single season since joining the NCAA DI ranks. This marks the fourth straight season the Lancers have had at least one player named to the prestigious list.
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior academically in Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their Associate's Degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA. In addition, they must have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. For 2019-20, they must participate in 40% of the team's competitive rounds.
