NORMAN, Okla. – Just days after completing the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Men’s Golf Championship, four of the SCAC’s six teams have earned a spot in the Golf Coaches Association of America Coaches’ Poll.
Schreiner University, the 2015 SCAC Men’s Golf Champion, remained at No. 6 in the poll and Southwestern University held onto the No. 13 spot.
The Mountaineers posted an 879 (+15) through the three round competition, finishing 11 shots ahead of second place Trinity University. The Pirates took third place overall, just two shots behind Trinity with a total mark of 892.
Trinity moved up one spot in the most recent poll, jumping up to No. 16, while Texas Lutheran University fell to No. 18 after taking fourth at the SCAC championship.
The NCAA also released regional rankings this week, with three teams earning top eight rankings in the West. Schreiner is No. 2 in the region, while Southwestern comes in at No. 5 and Trinity ranks No. 8.
The teams will now wait to see if they are selected to compete in the 2015 NCAA Championships in May.
