S&T, UMSL Lock Up GLVC Men’s Golf Major Accolades

In addition, 20 individuals earned the All-Conference recognition.
 
Per GLVC Bylaws, coaches rank the All-Conference nominations and the top ten in total points are awarded 1st Team All-GLVC. The next 10 players are designated as 2nd Team All-GLVC. If the individual award winner is not voted to 1st Team All-GLVC, they will be automatically added as the

The honorees are now eligible to become one of their school’s two Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners, which will be announced later this month.
