Men’s Golf Receives Academic Recognition From The GCAA


Golden Flashes named an All-Academic team for posting a G.P.A. over 3.0

KENT, Ohio –  In 2010 the Kent State men's golf team won both the Mid-American Conference and NCAA East Regional titles, but the course was not the only place in which the program was successful.  The Golden Flashes received All-Academic Team honors from the Golf Coaches Association of American (GCAA).  

Kent State earned the recognition for having a team Grade Point Average (GPA) of over 3.0.  In addition the Golden Flashes were one of just 10 teams to make the list out of the 30 programs that qualified for the NCAA Championship this past June.  

A total of 113 teams submitted GPAs of 3.00 or higher and earned All-Academic Team recognition.
