Tonight, during halftime of the Southwestern Spartans women's basketball game, the men's golf team will be celebrated for an outstanding accomplishment: earning the 2024-25 Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Academic National Championship for all NJCAA Division II men's golf programs—marking the second consecutive year for this honor.

This award recognizes the team with the highest GPA in the country. For the 2024-25 Spartans, it reflects dedication, discipline, and time management skills—qualities that define the program both on and off the course.

The current Spartan men's golf roster will formally accept the award on behalf of last year's team, marking the first time these student-athletes will see the honor in person. Members of the 2024-25 team include:

• Kamron Brownlee

• Alex Cordrey

• Josh Lopez

• Elliot Lorentzon

• Sofus Lyck

• Justin Miller

• Logan Moyer

• Freddie Muggeridge

• Evan Powell

• Ryan Stiles

• Kywin Tibben

"This is a proud moment for our program," said Head Coach Doug North. "We talk about standards, controlling the controllables, and excelling in whatever we get or have to do. Going back-to-back like this just solidifies it. These fellas are inked in history, forever."

The Spartans' back-to-back recognition as GCAA Academic National Champions underscores the program's commitment to developing well-rounded student-athletes who pursue excellence in all aspects of college life. Fans are encouraged to join us tonight to celebrate these outstanding young men during halftime.
