DAVIDSON, N.C. – Coming off one of its most successful seasons in program history, the Davidson golf team was just as impressive in the classroom, earning GCAA (Golf Coaches Association of America) Outstanding Team Academic Honors, as recently announced.
In addition, the Wildcats were just one of 17 Division I teams to post a GPA of 3.5 or higher, earning Presidents Special Recognition Honors.
A total of 193 schools submitted GPA's of 3.0 or above, with 32 of those schools receiving Presidents Special Recognition Honors.
To be eligible for GCAA Outstanding Team Academic honors a college or university must submit GPAs for each player on their official squad list for the academic year.
Davidson's 2018-19 campaign concluded with a pair of team titles, eight Top-5 finishes and a school-record 288.09 stroke average.
