Vincent Norrman caps season with All-America honors
GSW men's golfer Vincent Norrman received NCAA Division II PING All-America honorable mention from the Golf Coaches Association of America.

The Stockholm, Sweden native also broke the GSW 18-hole scoring record with a Round 1 score of 64 (8-under par) at the Hurricane Invitational. He followed that up by breaking the 36-hole scoring record by two strokes with a two-round score of 134 (10-under).

Another school record as 102 student-athletes make PBC Presidential Honor Roll
GSW placed 102 student-athletes on the 2017-18 Peach Belt Conference Presidential Honor Roll recently released by the league office. This year's mark eclipses the previous school record of 84 honorees set in 2015-16.
"We are extremely proud of these student-athletes," GSW Associate Athletic Director Christie Ward said. "Their dedication to their sport and to their academic excellence never ceases to amaze me. They are truly committed to embracing the Division II model of Life in the Balance, and it is clearly displayed by how they excel not only on the field or court, but also in the classroom."
The Presidential Honor Roll recognizes all student-athletes at the 12 Peach Belt member institutions who had a GPA of 3.0 or higher for the academic year.
